Our pastures were snow covered from Dec 24 until this week. I was startled
yesterday when the vole runs were revealed. Will there be a bigger
population of voles this year because they were protected from the raptors
and coyotes this winter? Our losses from voles last season were significant
and I would like some opinions on what to anticipate this year.

Are there cultural practices for our gardens (not hoophouses) that will help?
I have placed some high fence posts near garden sites, but have not seen an
increased visit rate by hawks. Is there anything that we can do?
