KY Afield Outdoors: Ample rain should mean bountiful dove season

By Lee McClellan

Frankfort, KY - It is the third week of August and already it is the third wettest summer on record for Frankfort and the fifth wettest for Louisville. Corn fields across most of Kentucky look robust as do pastures, yards and soybean fields.

This portends excellent conditions for the dove season opener on Tuesday, Sept. 1.

"The expectation is that we will have a good dove season," said John Brunjes, migratory bird coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. "We've had a lot of rain, but not a lot of violent storms, so we had good early dove reproduction. We are seeing lots of young birds here in August."

Personal Commentary

A friend and I were discussing the problem of getting "healthy" foods since so much crop and animal production is planned around rapid growth and lowered investment, a situation that lends itself to overuse of antibiotics, growth hormones, herbicides and pesticides, and no telling what other chemicals.

In the course of mulling this over for a few days, something occurred to me: How can anyone claim their farm produce is truly organic?
