	Managing Your Land for Wildlife Opportunities for Farmers and Rural Landowners

	Wildlife habitat improvement brings with it the flush of a surprised pheasant, the flash of a white-tailed deer, and the enjoyment of wildlife in your fields and around your home. Any farm can provide wildlife habitat at low cost while balancing production, conservation, and other personal priorities. Whether you manage a full-time cropping operation or maintain a hobby farm, modest landscape and production-related changes—like those made by Minnesota landowners profiled in this publication—can provide wildlife food and cover. This gives you a greater chance to enjoy the wild creatures supported by that habitat.
