The Missouri Department of Conservation, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and University of Missouri Extension have developed a Missouri Bobwhite Quail Habitat Appraisal Guide. Check it out here - http://muextension.missouri.edu/explore/miscpubs/mp0902.htm. This guide will help identify the quail habitat requirements that are in shortest supply on your farm. See if you have adequate nesting cover, brood cover, covey headquarters, and food supply on your farm for quail. Implement management practices on the habitat type most lacking.
