It was over 100 years ago that the land was leased for $1 an acre for 99 years, Thanks for your advice on my state , but no thanks ,you should really concentrate your energy on Tennessee have a good day👍🤙

And to the point of cotton I don’t suppose it’s as important as corn or soybeans but as far back as I can remember we’ve always put cottonseed in the cattle feed to help with milk production that being said we have this g****l w*****g going on out here from all the cow farts supposed to get back in teens next week so I kinda appreciate clothing they make from the rest of the useless cotton

you are missing one important point out here the majority of the v**ers live in the big cities and as hard as it is to believe they seem to enjoy or at least approve of what is going in. sure crime is up, homelessness is up, drug use and drug deaths are up and taxes are up but they seem to see it as everything is looking up so stay the course and keep giving the free stuff out and v**eing for the same people and same party. I know living back there in TN. this may sound crazy but our here I the enlightened west it makes perfect sense

I think you are correct if you build your farm on a flood plain don't complain when it floods that was the risk you accepted. you take the risk you reap the reward or loss and if I don't share in the gain I shouldn't share in the loss

Bingo,it's called a flood plain for a reason

Ok I couldn’t find much info on it so they’ve bought it instead of just leasing on bright side looks like B*M is got at least 7000 acres of it trying to do the right thing and fix it sounds like it once was a beautiful place I suppose most of it will be another natural treasure lost for the advancement of mankind

I would argue that Tulare is only the 2nd largest lake west of the Mississippi. California had a much larger one (500+ square miles) in 1862.

arguably flooded land is not the same as a lake but interresting read
