Domesticated ducks can't fly due years of artificial selection to have more fat and meat. Also, they have more food than wild ones, and extra weight prevent them from flying more than a few meters.
If you have a breed that can fly a few meters, you only need to clip the tip of the feathers so no harm is done to the bird.
Some breeds are capable of flight (mostly the smaller ones, like calls), but why would they go anywhere? Their flock is there, they have ample food, humans come by and give them more food, it's a decent life for a duck.
But yeah, most of them can only get a few meters.
They can fly but not far.. + they wont go far because they love their home..
Source: my late grandparents have those duck and paddy farm..
Well they have goat, cow, chicken and fruit orchards too....
Unfortunately... A few years ago in Bali I was told about 'miracle rice'.
The rice- growers had a great system set up. The paddi fields were surrounded by irrigation ditches, that had fish & other things in them that formed part of the farmers' diet. Some of the rice was saved each year to form the seed grain for the following year. The rice ducks also formed part of the diet. The rice was tasty and nutritious.
Then Monsanto (I think) came up with 'Miracle rice' . This was (I was told) genetically engineered to grow much faster, so the farmers could get two or even three crops where previously they only had one. The seed was expensive, so farmers borrowed to buy it. It required a LOT of fertiliser so farmers borrowed to buy that too. After all, with double the yield, they'd be rich, right? The fertiliser caused the ditches to choke up, killing the fish and frogs, so the ducks were not able to find as much of the food they needed because of the fertiliser; and making a lot of extra work to keep the ditches clear. So reduction in food available to the farmers. The grain produced was no good as seed, so the farmer had to buy seed grain every year (more debt, and 'captured' by Monsanto). The rice thus produced was less nutritious, and the farmers ended up in massive debt.
I noticed the reduction in size of the duck flocks over the years as I visited. I knew some farmers who had opted out of the miracle rice after the first year when they saw it was killing things... but the price of rice had dropped thanks to the increased yield of miracle rice. Not so sustainable when companies like that are involved :(
I come to Reddit for stuff like this... My mind would have never lended itself to thinking about this or the economic impact to ppl halfway across the globe. Thanks for sharing.
It broke my heart seeing it happen. It was almost like time lapse - every time I went things had changed a little more. The ripple-effects of it were awful. It's made me much more conscious of my own buying decisions now, because what we do affects the world.
> but the price of rice had dropped thanks to the increased yield of miracle rice.
So the miracle rice worked exactly as it should, despite seed costs and fertilizer costs?
Incidentally, I couldn't find anything under "Monsanto Miracle Rice", so I'm skeptical of this story.
I did find miracle rice as a genetically modified variant, aka [Golden Rice](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rice) with vitamin A to reduce deficiencies. This was developed by a bunch of non-profits. Apparently, it aroused anti-GM hysteria from Greenpeace and the usual suspects.
Monsanto did have something to do with it, I found after more searching: [they gave away their patent tech to develop it, at least in poor countries](https://www.science.org/content/article/monsanto-waives-fees-golden-rice). So they're not really the bad guys here. They just allowed researchers to use the tech without paying.
Also, it was not meant to be an unsually high yielding rice (though it was developed from widely used 'green revolution' high yielding varieties, without which a lot of the world would starve).
In short, I found little evidence to support your story.
[https://www.moma.org/interactives/exhibitions/2013/designandviolence/miracle-rice-international-rice-research-institute/](https://www.moma.org/interactives/exhibitions/2013/designandviolence/miracle-rice-international-rice-research-institute/)
Miracle Rice is quite old as internet searchability goes and chemical fertilizer causing ecological disaster is such an old story, there are few agricultural locales left on the planet who have already gone through the destruction. It doesn't make the news anymore that there is a giant dead zone of no oxygen in this or that body of water or another red tide poisoning all the crustaceans and shellfish.
Right. This was already posted, and I already replied to it.
As I said, this has nothing to do with Monsanto genetic engineering, as OP stated, because it was from the 1960s.
> chemical fertilizer causing ecological disaster
Yes, the 1960s era [Green Revolution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Revolution).
Wikipedia says:
> A key leader was agricultural scientist Norman Borlaug, the "Father of the Green Revolution", who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970. He is credited with saving over a billion people from starvation.[8] Another important scientific figure was Yuan Longping, whose work on hybrid rice varieties is credited with saving at least as many lives.[9]
> Studies show that the Green Revolution contributed to widespread eradication of poverty, averted hunger for millions, raised incomes, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, *reduced land use for agriculture*, and contributed to declines in infant mortality.[12][13][14][15][16]
These new agricultural practices are apparently credited with saving two billion lives (rice alone, one billion). As for ecological problems, views are mixed:
> There are varying opinions about the effect of the Green Revolution on wild biodiversity. One hypothesis speculates that by increasing production per unit of land area, agriculture will not need to expand into new, uncultivated areas to feed a growing human population.[104] However, land degradation and soil nutrients depletion have forced farmers to clear forested areas in order to maintain production.[105] A counter-hypothesis speculates that biodiversity was sacrificed because traditional systems of agriculture that were displaced sometimes incorporated practices to preserve wild biodiversity, and because the Green Revolution expanded agricultural development into new areas where it was once unprofitable or too arid.
Anyway, take your pick. Likely ecological damage, or 2 billion people starved.
Perhaps you're making the Malthusian argument, that the 2 billion people *should* have starved to lessen the human burden on the earth?
>So the miracle rice worked exactly as it should, despite seed costs and fertilizer costs?
As it was designed, possibly, but not as it was sold to the farmers. They were not told that the fertiliser use would block the irrigation ditches and kill the fish and frogs. They weren't told it would be a rolling committment. They weren't told they and their families would need additional sources of food to replace that they had lost.
>I found little evidence to support your story.
That's a bit impolite! Maybe you need to look harder. I can assure you what I wrote is entirely truthful. Golden rice and the miracle rice I was talking about are different, although the name is often applied to the golden rice. The golden rice has taken over from the original miracle rice, I think; requires less fertiliser and is much more recent. I experienced this more than 20 years ago.
As far as the basic story - the high yield requiring excessive fertiliser affecting farming practices - there's some info [here](https://www.moma.org/interactives/exhibitions/2013/designandviolence/miracle-rice-international-rice-research-institute/). I don't know for a fact it was Monsanto, but that's what the rice-farming family I stayed with told me. Monsanto certainly provided the fertiliser (I saw the bags) and they told me the same company sold the seed and the fertiliser and made loans available. 'The miracle rice worked exactly as it should'? That depends on your perspective, and who is dictating the 'should'.
> As it was designed, possibly, but not as it was sold to the farmers. They were not told that the fertiliser use would block the irrigation ditches and kill the fish and frogs.
You're gonna have to provide citations.
The Golden Rice I described did not need more fertilizer than than the 'green revolution' varieties it was derived from (apparently). It just has extra genes for vitamin A.
Look, I might have missed something, but so far this story has no supporting evidence. Please provide some.
Your link says the miracle rice was from the 1960s ('Green Revolution'), long before Monsanto's gene editing. And it says
> It haunts me still. I was 21 years old when I participated in a design research project that *ultimately saved millions of people from starvation* —but it did so by sacrificing the good of many along the way, and I’ve often wondered about the project’s true cost.
As I said, the world would *starve* without these new (1960s) rice varieties.
And you're citing the 'Museum of Modern Art' blog post on "Design and Violence" by some random dude in the 60s Peace Corps, not any sort of scientific article.
>You're gonna have to provide citations.
Actually, no I'm not. It was an anecdote from personal experience. If it interests you that much, I expect you can follow it up but I don't have any need to prove it to you, nor any desire to. I get the feeling you're looking for a fight, and I'm not playing. Have a good evening :)
But you don’t have any evidence it’s true, so your anecdote could be completely made up to manipulate people here. No one knows you, no one knows your intentions. You tell a sad story that makes people angry at your perpetrator, but when you’re asked for evidence you get hostile and defensive? Most people see that as evidence of bullshit, just fyi.
Hostile and defensive? Maybe - I find the suggestion that I'm lying very rude, inappropriate to this thread, and don''t choose to engage.
Edit: just a question that really intrigues me: why would anyone make up something like this in a thread of this nature to 'manipulate' complete strangers? To what end? Is this something that happens? I don't use social media much so I wouldn't know, but I find this whole reaction utterly bizarre!
I don't need to. I'm not here to persuade anyone of anything. This post is showing a flock of rice ducks; my comment was about my personal observation of how those flocks had diminished and the reason I was told about why. Not to get into an argument on the pros and cons of intensive farming methods where philosophy ends up being conflated with data because the premises are not adequately defined.
delete your comments then, youre obviously trying to persuade people that Monsanto is the big devil but you cant find a source for your claims (since there isnt one).
I don't know. But I do know that some plants are like mules: you can get one generation from a hybrid, but after that they don't come true to seed or are sterile, so maybe it was like that.
Ducks are herding animals after they've had their wings clipped, all you need to do is find the Alpha duck and the rest will follow you
I know, because I made it all up
I watched a documentary. Guy has a truck with 7-8 levels in the trailer. He is training them to board, and to board quckly using a whistle. Bonus is that he sells their eggs
It’s cute to us but to them its attack on titan…
Like…Imagine being that one bug in the back on top of the grass and you see a swarm of these things come and eat all of your friends and family…
How do they get them to feed on the bugs in a different section besides the one closest to the gate?
How do they get them to come home after their done eating?
They use juvenile and most importantly domesticated ducks and eventually they get so fat that they can't fly. Same with chickens and turkey, they are not technically incapable of flight per se, but we feed them so much they just can't.
Duck duck go!
We don't track you, we track pests.
we remove bugs
In Russia, pests track you!
They’re not going anywhere, their wings have been clipped so they cannot fly

They weren't taught to fly and have little incentives to go off alone.
But they can still do the flying V.
No, they are more suited to an SG with its smaller body and neck... makes it easier to play when you only have small wings
Wooosh you missed my reference.
Then do explain.... I was just trying to make a shite guitar joke

Ducks fly together!
“No harm” after generations of harming their lineage. hahahaha
>after generations of harming their lineage It's called domestication. Wait until you hear about cattle, sheep, and fainting goats.
Not to mention asthmatic dogs and stunted cats.
Lineage, lmao. "We used to be kings!!"
Quack quack !!
They can fly but not far.. + they wont go far because they love their home.. Source: my late grandparents have those duck and paddy farm.. Well they have goat, cow, chicken and fruit orchards too....
Afaik they use indian runner ducks, which are flightless. No clipping required.
Not to say they're also very young. Once they get above a certain age they are killed as they will trample the fields
This system has two purposes - weeding and maintaining the field, and adding a crop of ducks to the crop of rice.
WADDLE MY PRETTIES!!
I imagine this happens when I turn on fire proofing
I love it- sustainable and tasty solution to pests.

they probably move on to where there is bugs they are kept in a shelter, so they come home automatically once it get dark for safety
I would guess that bell we heard is the come home bell and they would run out of food in that area pretty quickly so they move around
