Quest to resurrect quail may be in Arkansas' future - Arkansas News

18.04.09

Some fresh overtures toward resurrecting bobwhite quail in Arkansas may be forthcoming.

Quail Unlimited Inc., a national conservation organization that blossomed in the 1980s then fell quiet in later years, is undergoing an overhaul, according to its new president, Craig Alderman of Buffalo, Mo.

Alderman spoke to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Thursday at its monthly meeting in Little Rock. In was an introductory appearance by Alderman, and he made no grandiose promises. Rejuvenation of the organization was his focus.

QU was founded in 1981, one of three conservation organizations based in the small town of Edgefield, S.C. It was a neighbor of the National Wild Turkey Federation and the Striped Bass Association.

With the new efforts, QU has been involved in a variety of habitat projects in Illinois, Kentucky and Missouri. Now the group is looking at Arkansas, one of a number of states with rich quail history.

That is history – in the past. Arkansas still has quail but in drastically reduced numbers from the heydays of the early to mid-20th century. It may be hard to realize, but the hunting of quail in Arkansas once outranked deer hunting, outranked duck hunting, outranked turkey hunting.

What percent of the Arkansas population is involved with farming?

I have a university project where I need to know how many farmers, crop producers, pesticide-producers.. people like that are in Arkansas. If you could post a link to this information, I'd really appreciate it.

The source has much more information, but this is basically what you asked for. The numbers are for 1992, 1997, and 2002 respectively.

Percent with farming as their primary occupation: 53.0, 47.8, 57.7
Men (persons): 40,338, 44,922, 42,644
Women (persons): 3,599, 4,571, 4,839

Err...that's actually "principle farm operators," not the total population in farming. Let me look some more.

This is better. 2000 census data.

Farmers and farm managers:
Total: 773,218 0.6%
Men: 661,288 1.0%
Women: 111,930 0.2%

does farm burea in Arkansas cover vehicles with lights and siren for a volunteer fire department?

Volunteer Fire department in Arkansas. Lights and siren on it. Fire department is just volunteer not paid or full time. Will Farm burea auto insurance cover the vehicle?

Not on a personal auto policy!!

The volunteer fire department should have coverage, on their policy, which extends to the personally owned vehicles of the volunteer firemen (or commendeered vehicles) when they bring them out on a call.

Then you need the personal auto coverage (be sure to ask for the customizing equipment endorsement!!) for when you have/use the car NOT on a fire call.

These boys arrive in Little Rock by Bus. They take a find a rundown taxi stand, and take a taxi to the farm. It is raining and the taxi driver asked if they are staying by themselves. Something bad happened in the house. They had to walk the rest of they way because of a fallen tree on the road. They clean up the house and move in. They enroll in school. There is a local bully that name is (bubba?) that bothers them. They grow watermelons to make money.
