Sowing crows in Baden-Württemberg: Shoot ensures heated debate!

Sowing crows in Baden-Württemberg: Shoot ensures heated debate!

In Baden-Württemberg, farmers are currently facing a major problem: seeds. These feathered pests cause considerable damage, especially on seeds and young plants. An example is Stefan Brudy, a corn builder from Appenweier who had to reproduce after a planned sowing because the seeds made the most of his seeds disappear. In order to become the Lord, he uses fright -shot devices, but has only limited success. That is why the authorities in the southwest have now decided to facilitate the shooting of the protected bird species in certain regions. This is mainly implemented in the Rhine level, where the birds can be found in large swarms. [Bo.de] (https://bo.de/was-tun- against Saatkrahen-Raum-zumstritten/) reports that this should counteract the acute damage in agriculture.

The district office in Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald has issued a general order that allows people who are entitled to work and people with hunting permit to combat seed crows by shotgun. This regulation applies from April 1 to September 30, 2025. The aim is to minimize the damage caused in agricultural areas, especially during sowing, in the growth phase and at the fruit. However, the shooting is strictly regulated: a maximum of five animals can be killed per incident, breeding parent animals must be protected. A shooting must be reported immediately to the responsible district office, including details on the affected area. The measure does not serve to reduce the inventory, but of the scam and was recently introduced for raven crows. Interested farmers can contact the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district office for details on this topic.

challenges for farmers

The problem is that the effective bird defense of stars, juniper thrush and crows requires a mixture of different methods. While the use of shock apparatus and one -networking is common, larger studies show that fright -shot devices may only be used during the day and are subject to strict noise protection regulations. These requirements can also make handling more difficult because minimum distances to residential areas must be observed. There are also specific regulations for the use of materials such as hail networks, since improper use can lead to losses in animals. [Hortipendium.de] (https://hortipendium.de/vogel defense) describes in this context the requirements for the security measures and the legal framework for bird defense.

hunters like Nils Arnold from Bad Krozingen criticize the high effort and the complicated rules for the shooting of the seeds. This region has established itself as a hotspot for the birds, which increases the challenges for local agriculture. Therefore, it remains to be seen how effective the new regulations for the overgrowth of seeds will actually be and what other measures have to be taken to help farmers. The Baden-Württemberg nature conservation association expresses concerns about these exceptional regulations and advocates alternative methods such as planting hedges and bushes to hold the feathered pests.
