This is crazy! I hear a lot of people talking about selling off their cattle and one friend of ours is talking about flooding his hay field like rice!  I was talking with an older person yestarday who told me that its never been this bad in her whole life that she can remember. |

If we lived ON a river, I bet I would be pumping some water out onto the fields. Just the parts we have been irrigating around our house have really taken off. Been watering the garden with a regular yard sprinkler and it has made the grass go nuts!

I have seen it get dry down here on the coast before but never starting so early and lasting for so long. Any ranchs and farmers that or not able to irregate feilds and pasters may not be in bussiness next year?  |

Just because you live on or by the river does not mean you can pump water out of it. If LCRA finds out there is a big fine pluse you have got to pay for what water they think you got and it aint cheap.

NO Mandi we can not pump water out of the river. It is owned by the LCRA it is a state set up out fit to control the water in our part of the country. They have been trying to get control of the ground water also but the farmers and ranchers have been fighting it in Austin. They tryed to get us to tell them how many wells we have on our properties butmost of us told it was not any of there bussiness. Ground water on my property belongs to me just as do minerals
