By Tom ParkerWhen Harry Moser first heard K-State Watershed Specialist Will Boyer’s glowing reports on the benefits of feeder pads, he wasn’t impressed. “I thought he was nuts,” Moser said.Moser, co-owner with his wife, Lisa, of Moser Ranch, Wheaton, was skeptical. Still, past dealings with agents from a mixture of conservation groups had taught him to think outside the box, so he reluctantly gave the okay to construct a raised pad as an access road and beneath an existing concrete bunkline, which was relocated to high ground.It seemed simple enough: a layer of geotextile fabric layered with six inches of crushed limestone and, around the feeding station, a thick layer of mulched hay.
