I'm sure the farmers are wondering the same thing.
If they plant and fertilize in April will they lose their crops due to a June cutoff.

Awesome -- is that where you've been?!

I'm starting to like the idea of no water in the lake. The low water will expose the sucker fish, making it easier to scoop them up and dispose of the slimey creatures.
I owe it to my children.

I wish. I'm still in Florida.
It would have been cool to be there.

I think that they are OK for this year. There is little to no way that a peer-reviewed biological opinion will be ready that soon (if nothing else because of the need for the study-the-problem business to milk this for all it's worth). The ones to watch are the tribes. I met with the watershed council and the Yuroks do have some people with their heads screwed on correctly (their lead biologist is not among them). some of them are smart enough to know that if the farmers go, they are next.
I'd really like to get back up there and see if I could make a few things happen. I've had some time to let things jell and would like to explore some ideas. Perhaps the California State Grange could help with integrate a plan with its Oregon counterpart? Know anybody up there ff? If they want watershed planning, perhaps we should give it to them.

These are pro demonstrators. The local Tribe stayed away as they don't want to jeopardize there talks with Norton about the return of the reservation.The media played the race card as the only farmer shown in the national satellite news feed was taped saying " Are you indans going to eat suckers srest of your life, you would starve if it wasn't for farmers".Farmer was used to play race card on national news.And the Indians he was hollering at aren't even the sucker eaters.Ed Hubel.

It was an honor to have been at Klamath Falls with you last August during the Klamath Convoy Rally.

Hey Brother!
Long time no "talk."

Thank You for giving us the "vehicle" to help make this happen.
To: nunya bidness
God Bless You for ALL you did to help make this a reality.
To: Carry_Okie
I have been asked to apply for the new covering their butts Legislative Committee. This might be something the committee could work on. Might even get the National Grange involved since they were big in the Klamath fight last year. For those reading this who don't know, the National Grange had meetings of great length with the powers that be in Washington DC. We have a very effective lobby back there. You can find contact info on the Oregon Grange through the
National web site. Leo is in tight with the Oregon people.

The honor was all mine.
BTW do you happen to have a Klamath ping list. I bet redrock and izzaquacken and blackie and AuntB and such would love these photos and to see the articles. I've already showed Yellow Rose of Texas lol

i am amazed at all of these stories. For so long it seemed that only the people of Klamath and their friends here of FreeRepublic were the only ones speaking about this. Now all the media are covering it.
Any answers?

KLAMATH HEADGATES OPEN PICTURE PING!
To: nunya bidness
Opening the A Canal headgates this morning are, from left, Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman,
Interior Secretary Gale Norton, Sen. Gordon Smith and Dave Cacka, a Klamath Basin farmer. "26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."
I wonder if these bureaucrats are the creepy things the Bible refers to? This angers me that they are celebrating standing up for humans like it was a great feat or something.
