Kentucky farmers can earn extra cash in the Dove Field Hunt Program offered by the KY Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources by planting specific crops in the spring. With prescribed plantings on the land and when the land is leased to the Fish and Wildlife for public hunting, a landowner can reap as much as $2,500. Crops such as sunflowers or millet qualify, or an idle or fallow field planted to winter wheat may also qualify for the program. And remember any field previously intended for silage production can easily become a dove-hunting field. The state prefers larger fields—up to 20 acres—but the program has had excellent results with smaller fields. Area farmers and landowners interested in the program should contact Fish and Wildlife no later than February 29.
