MATTER OF FACT, THERE’S GOOD NEWS TO REPORT. THE CAYWOOD FAMILY IS STILL FARMING AFTER. SIGNIFICANT MOUNTAIN SNOWS AND RAINFALL. WELL, WE VISITED NANCY CAYWOOD LAST WEEK. SHE WAS GIVING A TOUR OF THE FARM, TALKING ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER. WE ASKED ABOUT THE CHANGES THEY’VE MADE TO PRESERVE THEIR LIVELIHOOD. WE LIKE TO BE KNOWN AS WATER CONSERVATION. FARMERS WANT TO CONSERVE WATER. SO WE JUST SPENT QUITE A BIT OF MONEY LEVELING FIELDS AND OUR WATER IS FLOWING MUCH FASTER. SO THAT’S HELPING REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT WE USE. WE GROW ALFALFA TYPICALLY ON THIS FARM AND WE CAN LEAVE OUR ALFALFA IN FOR FOUR YEARS AND RIGHT NOW OUR ALFALFA IS GETTING TO THE END OF ITS LIFE CYCLE. SO WE ARE LOOKING AT OTHER CROPS THAT ARE ABOUT 90 DAYS CORN, OATS. THEY ALL TAKE ABOUT FOUR ACRE FEET OF WATER AND WE’RE DOING THAT IN ABOUT A 90 DAY CYCLE. AND SO WE HARVESTED OATS IN MARCH, DID VERY WELL WITH IT. WE PUT CORN IN RIGHT AFTER THAT. IT WAS HARVESTED IN JULY AND NOW WE HAVE MORE OATS IN THE GROUND. WE’RE KIND OF YEAR BY YEAR, STORM BY STORM. AND WE’RE WATCHING THE LEVELS OF COOLIDGE DAM ALL THE TIME. WE HAVE THE APPS ON OUR PHONE. WE LOOK AT WEATHER FUTURES AND WE’RE JUST TRYING TO GUESS WHAT WE CAN DO TO MAKE THIS FARM WORK. AS FOR WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS, CAYWOOD SAYS IT’S STILL UNCERTAIN. RECENTLY, SHE WENT TO CAPITOL HILL TO PUSH FOR APPROPRIATIONS FOR WATE
