Ditch Video

The creativity of the American farmer. You've probably heard about the EPA trying to get a rule in place where they can govern what you do with bodies of water on your own farmland. We’re talking irrigation ditches, small ponds… Even puddles. It is so outrageous that Kacey and Andy Clay of the Missouri Farm Bureau released a music video showing their family enjoying water related activities such as sitting in a canoe, the kids wearing water wings and lifejackets and fishing. Bear in mind the happy family is doing all of this in a dry irrigation ditch. Obviously a parody but I want you to listen. Imagine the visual picture I just drew. “This ditch is dry on my farm today, not a puddle anywhere, there is no water flowing but the government doesn’t care, once more the EPA is knocking at our door, with a brand-new rule, they want to regulate us more, they tried before and we said no, why should they control what doesn’t flow, agriculture is safe, that’s what they say, it’s a what they always say.
