In Polish countryside pretty much every village has several frames for storks to build their nests on. People build them on their roofs or on utility poles, and some utility companies do that too. It's best to build it a meter or more over the base to protect the nest from predators and electricity.
Also I've never seen a stork feeding in a swamp as they wrote in this article, but I've seen plenty of times storks walking behind a tractor plowing a field. They wait for the farmer to dig up the ground and eat the larva of insects uncovered by the tractors.
They also catch frogs and mice on regular fields. Don't need to be a bog. That's probably why farmers love them.
