On the drive back to Chicago, I made a brief stop at the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center , a 185-acre preserve on Lake Michigan in Milwaukee, that is well worth a visit. Indeed, 98.7% of Horicon NWR was purchased with MBCF funds ( i.e., Duck Stamp funds). It is a popular eBird hotspot with nearly 13,000 checklists and 260 recorded species.

And when the work of the maltster is done, the grain is sent along to the brewery, which might be even further removed from the farmland on which it was grown – often in a city.
