Wetlands
Not all of our wetlands are drained each year as there is simply not time enough to drain, dry, bulldoze, tractor prep, plant all of them each season.
This wetlands rotation between letting stand wet year round relying on natural re-growth rather than planted millet and smart weed also insures our having water early in the season on dry years. This wetlands is just such a case.

Waiting for free water before pumping. The water level will not fully cover the millet shown standing.
Above is the blind showing the entrance door closed on the same wetlands as the earlier two pictures.
The blind door open showing the bench seat at left that runs the length of the blind as does the small shelf at right along the blind interior front.
