Charlie -

Thats a good idea - I think Pennsylvania still does this -

From PGC 1999-2000 annual report

Statewide, food and cover corps and land managers planted 3,073 acres of grain and 1,594 acres of grasses and legumes for wildlife; 893 acres were planted in or converted to warm season grasses. About 6,119 acres of wildlife food plots were limed and fertilized to improve wildlife food production; 16,682 acres were mowed to maintain high quality grasses and legumes; and 1,068 acres of field borders were cut to provide nesting and escape cover. Also, 16,245 trees were pruned to improve fruit and seed production; 20 miles of roads were constructed and, finally, 1,419 new nest boxes and 491 waterfowl nest structures were erected.
Maybe some PA Guys could comment on how it works in PA? It sounds like a good idea anyhow.
