[AT] Real farmers problems- adiscussionoflanduserelatedtofarming- wasfuel problemsgetexpensive-perspectivesandreactions

Yep and it's getting worse every day.    I noticed  a while back that the 
two small irrigation ponds on our farm now show  up on maps as "blue line 
streams"  both of them are right out in the middle of fields.  They are 50' 
wide by 150' long and were 12' deep in the middle when my dad had them dug 
in 1960 or so.  Now I suppose they are no longer ours to do with as we need 
or want.   I'm sure I can't fill them in without enough permits and paper 
work to fill the bed of a pickup truck.  So much for private property 
rights.
