IMPERIAL VALLEY FAMILY FARMS and all the other “I” waterways…

This morning February 6th, I declared the GH15 Prayers & Decrees for the Protection of America's Waterways and also Psalm 91. In the January "Western Farm Press" magazine, an article by Dan Keppern (Executive Director of the Family Farm Alliance) titled "Unfair media reports aim to shame farm families." I'll just quote the first, second, and the last oaragraphs, (1) "Recently, an article was released by ProPublica that "exposes" Imperial Valley family farms in Southern California for using water to grow food." (2) "The article estimated how much Colorado River Water was being used by 20 farm families for their land, comparing that amount to other competing uses, and then listing each family's water use - by name. This is truly frightening given the polarized nature of today's society.." (L) " With the growing disconnect among consumers, farmers, and the agricultural processes that sustain the world, it is clear there is a need to bridge this knowledge gap and enlighten the public about the significance of farm water in our food production."
