Joe Kimmal: Why are canals full in Wood Colony?
Will someone explain why MID canals have been full for the past week out here in Wood Colony, or why all these orchards are being flooded. The front page of the newspaper has printed that April 12 is the start of the MID irrigation season. Maybe an MID board member has family farming hundreds of acres out here? This pre-irrigation, I am guessing, won’t go against the 16 inches allowed after April 12!
