Is cutting the ditches that u don't own considered normal farming practice if we want an exception we should stop cutting long grass that doesn't effect our bottom line

I doubt that bobolinks or meadowlarks would nest in roadside ditches,even if the grass was left long,they prefer the centre of an open hay field not close to a bush.

Cutting ditches is a safety issue for me since municipalities here don't maintain shoulders on rural roads. Cutting the weeds gives me a chance to see where I might be able to go with equipment and where I can't. Plus it keeps the municipalities weeds from spreading into my fields which absolutely affects my bottom line

So piss on the bobolinks lm more important
