Results of Year 1: Integrating ducks into log-grown shiitake mushroom 
cultivation for slug control and added yields


"As mentioned in previous posts, in early 2012 I received funding from 
NE-SARE, to study the integration of ducks into my mushroom laying yard 
as possible slug control. I also sought to compare different breeds for 
this task and to see how marketable duck products were to the local 
region. This past season I was fortunate to work with farmers, chefs, 
researchers, and extension folks as I raised 45 ducks of four breed 
types in my roughly 1000 log shiitake mushroom operation."
