Congratulations to National Sorghum Producers for their successful Climate-Smart Commodities Grant announced this morning via U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Vilsack! Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever are proud to be a partner in this endeavor, expanding our history of collaboration supporting the sorghum industry’s continuous environmental improvements. What does this mean in upland bird country?

Here's an incredible story! After the Upland Super Issue landed in mailboxes recently, we received an heartfelt email about a family photo, lost over time, from a member in South Dakota. This photo features the member's grandfather and great uncle, after a hunt in in central South Dakota a long, long time ago, and was featured on page 133 of Upland Super Issue. We're proud to report that the high-resolution copy has been delivered to the family! #habitat #pheasanthunting #grasslands #SouthDakota #uplandhunting

It is a beautiful thing to think about, the way our love for the uplands and our bird dogs never dies but merely transforms itself into a new shape - that was the case for Douglas Spale and his newfound bird dog. Here's the story of Kohtop the Labrador, and how she embodies the passion of her owner to conserve wild places in the uplands: https://bit.ly/3xliL7G #labradorretriever #habitat #CalloftheUplands
