- apparently, ducks are natural weed-killing herbicides. Once released, this army is ready to swiftly clean up the crop fields without needing any instructions. Ducks are highly effective when used to eliminate weeds in rice or corn fields. and it seems for these ducks, weeds are tastier than any genetically modified crops

If you tried that with chickens, they would eat the weeds, the pests, the crops, the barn, and possibly the farmer if he gave them the chance.
And eachother

They only release the ducks when the crops are of a certain height, where they can't reach the young tender leaves. They could only reach the tough older leaves, but those aren't tasty to the ducks.
Thank you so much for this information. It clarifies it all! 👍
So the dilemma is the same for them as for the beaver huh. Because beaver fell trees to get to the sweeter leafs at the top
@@SoiBoi_Kelda1059 probably so. My guess is the younger leaves are easier for the animals to digest, besides just taste
Aaah logic . Thank you
Their poops are also good fertilizer 😀
Does nobody talk about her saying “these yummy ducks?” 😂😅
This
That's what I was wondering 🤔... and more than once! 😅
I mean they are food
Duck is yummy.
@MovingTarget3
Yuck is dummy...
not only did they kill weed, they also fertilized your field for free
Ducks are awesome
Organic farming 😂
and you can eat them too
Probably not the best fertilizer, it can burn the crop and duck manure contains weed seeds that will contaminate the field.
And ducks eat the insects too. I live in South East Asia, we use these ducks to clear the rice fields before we plant it.
"Yummy lookin ducks" may be the weirdest way to describe a duck
Yeah really!
That and "tasty army"
What do you mean? Ducks taste good
@@houseofwonders1 there's no denying that when they are breasted out and cooked they are tasty But just running around is a little odd 😂
Not if your into eating duck its not
Roundup: "I kill weeds in 2 to 3 days"
Ducks: "Hold my beer" 😂
Roundup not only kills the weeds but the nature itself.
my mom carefully used it in the gardens with a fine paint brush, back when it was still available in Europe as concentrate.
😅😅😅
Roundup also gives you a shit ton of diseases, ducks give you happiness.
As mentioned somewhere, not only are ducks faster and more efficient but they also provide fertiliser.
It’s almost like nature has its own way to sort things out without pesticides

' A new army has risen, it's victory is at beak! This night, the land will be pecked clean of all pests and weeds, flock to the fields, leave none alive. GO GRAZE!!!
People tend to forget that "weeds" are just plants we don't want.
to go further, the irony is that many plants called weeds now, have been herbs in use in peoples diet for millenia, dandelion is one example, i have a book by andrew chevalier titled an encyclopedia of herbal medicine, and it lists 560 common plants and their uses, and from that i found out MANY so called weeds are perfectly edible and have minor medicinal properties, frankly the invention of the term weed has been an utter disaster for the field of botany among other things.
as one more example, the water hyacinth that is hated in florida and called qn invasive and a pest because it can clog water ways, is perfectly edible, its leaves taste to me of a cross between cucumber and lettuce, with an extremely slight hint of pepper, that plant would be excellent animal feed too if people bothered to learn that it is edible.
Very wise...only we dont want them..or we dont know how to use them

Used to raise ducks myself. One of the coolest animals on the planet. Great at getting rid of pests, weeds, great for your garden.
And they taste great!
only thing with the content speaker ! seriously doubt any farmer who uses ducks is growing gmo crops
I miss my pet white ducks Dolce, Louis, Donald, Daisy and Clumsy was my fav he was a little disabled but I refused to give up on him he was a gem 🥰
I even raised wild paradise ducks before as a kid they were pretty domesticated but we released them n sometimes after mating season they’d pop in for a visit 🥹
And tasty at the end of the day
Yeah ne and my sister used to catch baby frogs and feed it to our duck
AND.... their droppings are fantastic fertilizers!!

That's standard behavior for them. They help each other find food.
All living things behave like this. From the microscopic to even human beings in large crowds.
I used just three ducks to keep my large pond free of pond scim and therefore, more importantly, nearly free of mosquitoes.
They made nice pets too!
😮 mosquitoes! So cool
Stock it with koi fish, they are great at eating anything that grows in the pond.
Ducks make great pets. They need water to be happy though. A natural pond or a slow stream is best.
@@davidvento5481 false- for domesticated anyway. Water to clear their airway-
They also love slugs.
They also fertilize as they go. Wonderful.
Because of their webbed feet, ducks dont mess up your crop fields the same way chicken do. They don't expose the underlayers of soil to corrosion and devoid the ground of all those beneficial earthworms.
Chickens intentionally peck and scratch the earth. It's not just the feet. It's the behavior. There are bugs in the earth for chickens to eat.
Ducks, the natural and environmentally friendly weed killer...
Nup. Best to bring in Monsanto and aerial spraying and ADHD.
Or they don't recognise it as food
And pest controllers, since they eat snails and slugs that may damage the crops
Release the Quacken!!!
@@wastelandwanderer9491😂😂😂
It’s not because it’s a hybrid or GMO, but because the leaves are too high up. The ducks prefer the ones where they only bend down and pick, thus the short weeds. So, any crops like cabbage, lettuce, or any short crops they will eat them too.
did the duck tell you this?
@@sjsaujanya2339 quAck
@@sjsaujanya2339 you don't need to be told when you live near a place where you can see them do that. Observation and longterm viewing is key.

Duck farmers in Philippines work closely with rice farmers. They travel around the countryside cleaning rice farms and getting free grazing for the ducks. We don't eat the ducks as much as it's not a popular meat; we do, however, love our baluts 😆
basically we are telling the ducks we wont eat you. But just give us your first-born child as a sacrifice.
Kaya pala nung bata ako ang daming pato sa likod ng bahay namin, at saka nung nagpunta ako ng ibang bansa di ko talaga kayang kumain ng pato, sabi ko nalang sa kanila di ako sanay kasi di kami kumakain ng pato sa pinas😅
who cares?!
Perhaps the main reason why everyone loves it, its all natural 😂😂
Balut Balut Balut ❤ 💯
Those ducks work hard and provide an important service and are still being eyed as food. “Yummy looking ducks”
So what? Human species has been doing that since agriculture's invention. Duck grease is excellent for the body.
Das hat mich auch gestört 😢
Me parece una excelente opción para crear un equilibrio, le dan a comer, conservan a los patos al natural y se ahorrar la limpieza, no generan desechos y con las heces están abonando 😊
Este sistema está perfecto
From what I’ve found, every weed plant we demonize actually has a ton of health benefits. So this makes sense that they love em.
Yes... They also bring back nutrition for soil.. You have a book about healthy benefits of weed.. Lost knowledge 😊
Not every single weed, no
A weed is often just a plant that's growing where it shouldn't (usually accordion to us).
@@obvioustrollisobvious7028 name one that isn’t. Also, define weed for us please.
They are trying to grow rice, anything else is leeching nutrients from rice 😐
This is how my family has done it for generations on our rice farm in the Philippines. Our neighbors have ducks and offer these services to all the local farmers:)
It Win win situation both sides❤
Funny, I just saw this thing while cycling a few weeks ago. A flock of them released on a rice field unattended.
Liar Pilipino didnt knew shit😮
So, does the rice farmer pay for the weeding, or the duck farmer for the feeding?
@@skuulayes
unlike humans, Ducks are SMART ENOUGH not to eat the GMOs☠️
"Weeds are tastier than any genetically modified crops." Ducks know better.
It has nothing to do with genetically modified crops. It's the type of the plant itself that matters.
Fear mongered individual
And don't forget, they also drop fertilizer (poop) as they move through the field.

@frederickdawson2253 I hate yard work. Gunna get some duckies now
Droppings rife with weed seeds 😂😂😂😂
The ducks, being omnivorous, also eat various insect pests too, particularly snails.
Grubs
Yeah, the voice over is wrong. The ducks are eating slugs and bugs and grubs, *not* *weeds!* This lazy liar just found some video clip and made up a bunch of dumb "facts."
Maybe the crop has been genetically modified to taste bad or be mildly poisonous to birds ?
I thought they ate the pests only but seems like the eat the weeds too unless the videos edited
.. that's WHY l don't eat ducks..😮
“Weeds are tastier than GMO crops” 👌🏽
Ой, какие золотые комочки...Это чудо...😊
TIL, Bali has an ancient practice called the Subak (sp?) System. After harvesting rice, the farmers call in the duck wranglers who release their ducks into the fields to glean them of leftover grain, weeds and pests. They leave behind a clean fertilized field ready for replanting. This practice helped Bali become a leading rice producer without using chemicals. The ducks are fed and fattened up for meat and produce chemical-free eggs. Brilliant video.
Wow. Thanks for sharing!

I'd watch a whole documentary on this.
Duckumentary if you will
You should give The Biggest Little Farm a watch!
These ducks are too cool! Never seen anything like this before.
Heard a farmer say, "you don't have a slug infestation, you have a duck deficiency."
Ducks don't prefer long-leaf plants like grass, rice, corn. They eat broad leaf plants, which most weeds are. So they are perfect for rice crops but will eat your carrots, cabbage, etc. It has nothing to do with GM0.
Thanks for update of misinformation
Are u a farmer or used to be a duck?
@@kenrallos6248😂😂😂
I was going to say, the increase of starches and sugars in gmos would have increased their likelihood to eat them, if anything. Your explanation makes much more sense.
Nobody said it had to do with GMOs

I have never seen anything like this before. I always liked ducks, but I am so glad that now they can help farmers with their crops. That is so fantastic. I guess you can call them free labor.

I had a class in ecology my first year in college. My professor talked about this very thing over 40 years ago. The Chinese farmers would hatch ducks and be present with them for hours every day so the ducks would understand the farmer is the leader. These farmers would lead them into fields to eat insects.
In my aquaculture class ,
Long time ,4 decades ago ,
I learn that duck raising culture is a important clog in poly culture ,
replacing a lot of commercial feeds and almost pharma free of antibiotics .
Maybe it's not too late to get a refresher course on its evolution and development.

I don't think you understand the scale of commercial farming required to feed "the world'
@@alexanderSydneyOz
This IS the way it's done all over the world. Or something similar to it be it using fish, carnivorous insects, ducks and such.
For the many small scale farmer that supports the food supply chain of their own local area or small country, farming using methods similar to this contributes to the overall health and quality of the food supply chain more organically.
If you want to actually feed the world, It's mostly come down to regional politics, food waste and over dependence on certain large commercial scale farmed foods that would normally be very cheap. ...If undisturbed by something like say, an invasion.
...And ironically sometimes investments into poor, starving regions and countries can also end up damaging their local food supply chain even further. So you'd probably have to convince mega food corporations to stop making massive profits too.
I mean it honestly isn't like our crop yields are decreasing but what affects our food prices ends up being something foreign because of overdependence*.
@@alexanderSydneyOz everyone can fend for themselves, if they really wanted to.
@@TheVeryBestBabyThat won’t happen when apartments become the new home.. if you ask me it’s already turned.
It is done in most Asian countries. Not only they eat weeds, they eat snails, harmful insects, bugs, etc. They are cheap, eco friendly, easy to care and you can eat it after they got old or fat.
Sometimes farmers uses fishes too. They eat insects, bugs, moss, snails too.
The ducks are just like the goats as four legged lawn mowers.
Best of all, they convert the weeds into...dinner!

I remember watching a programme where a farmer was telling a friend how difficult it was to clear weeds from a field, because stones prevented him using machinery. His friend knew another farmer who rented out a flock of goats for just that purpose. They cleared that field in no time!
I remember something similar but it was a landscaping job, the home owners opted to use 7 goats to remove the growth instead of paying thousands for a landscaping company to come in and clear the land, took the goats one week to sort it....
Two kinds of goats, the picky eaters and the one that will eat most anything. Of course there are different breeds.
Monsanto just declared war on ducks
This should tell us all something. The ducks would rather eat weeds than GMO crops.
A friend of mine uses chickens and rabbits in his garden to get rid of weeds. I don’t know why but those animals will not touch his crops whatsoever. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s crazy.

When I was a kid I lived in rural Eastern Washington State. Agricultural area. We had mint farms, many acres. They would turn geese loose in the mint fields to eat the weeds. “Weeder geese” The geese hated the mint so they left it alone. The fields were a beautiful rich dark green, and the solid white geese wandering around looking for the offending weeds was a lovely sight. The scent of mint filled the air. Ahhhh memories .

The reason they don't damage the rice plants is because of the rough silica texture of the rice plant stems and leaves. The delicate beaks of the ducks can't handle the roughness.

No, they left the plant because they know that the plant are not natural. So it shows that we are eating poison
The plants were planted first on a newly upturned weedless soil. Obviously, the plants are already big before the weeds grow.
