In Arkansas, managed rice fields and natural wetlands provide an important wintering area for North America's mallards.
During winter months, rice farmers capture rainwater in rice fields, creating vital resting and foraging habitat for migratory
and wintering waterfowl. Winter flooding of rice fields also helps to prevent erosion, controls weeds and protects soil nutrients.
