Acknowledgments

Most of the information in this chapter was obtained from experience gained in Alabama, where as a youngster I trapped muskrats and other furbearers to sell, and in Arkansas where muskrat control is a serious economic problem. Colleagues in the Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service, and especially county extension agents, provided the opportunity and background for obtaining this information. The Arkansas Farm Bureau, many rice farmers, fish farmers, and other private landowners/ managers, as well as the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission and the Arkansas State Plant Board, were also important to the development of this information.
