Melissa SpeirsMigrating geese occasionally settle and rest on the fields surrounding our house. Tis always an exciting time when they land near enough for shots!
While it may appear that Barnacle geese are not a farmer's favourite ally, there have been misconceptions surrounding the damage they pose to crops. Goose hatred has been fueled by disinformation, and more locally has been triggered by misinformed municipal leaders, often leading to cases of violence against geese and their offspring.
Some goose-friendly farming practices include devoting a field patch for them to graze on. It's simple I tells ya!!
