For Browns I agree, sometimes it can be tough to find Browns under 12”. |

Not to ruffle any feathers here...
But I consider any yes vote on this question to be irresponsible. Not because it wouldn’t work in the Driftless, but simply because it encompasses the whole state. Draw a line, or forget it.
