114-hr-1099 114 hr 1099 Hunter and Farmer Protection Act Animals 2015-02-26 2015-03-23 Referred to the Subcommittee on Federal Lands. House Rep. Crawford, Eric A. "Rick" [R-AR-1] AR R C001087 3 Hunter and Farmer Protection Act This bill amends the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to revise standards for determining what constitutes baiting for purposes of the prohibition on taking migratory game birds. A baited area, in the case of waterfowl, cranes, and coots, includes a standing, unharvested crop that has been manipulated through activities such as mowing, discing, or rolling, unless the activities are normal agricultural practices. An area is not considered to be a baited area if it: (1) has been treated with a normal agricultural practice, (2) has standing crops that have not been manipulated, or (3) has standing crops that have been or are flooded. The Department of Agriculture (USDA) must submit to the Department of the Interior a report on changes to normal agricultural practices across the range of crops grown by agricultural producers in each region of the United States in which USDA harvest practice recommendations are provided to agricultural producers. 2023-01-11T13:28:41Z
