yeah this country is easy on the eyes. But we're in a big fight over our irrigation water with the Tribe and the BIA trying to drive us off our fee land. This is an "open reservation" when government policy wanted assimilation of Tribal people into the general population so 90% of the irrigated land is owned in fee and 80% of the population is non-Triba.l Federal policy changed in 1934 and that and further in 1973 and the Tribe is trying to get control of the water, (inspite of the fact that the irrigation Project was specifically built for tribal and non-Tribal people) and drive the non-Tribal people out. Congress, who created this mess, won't deal with it and there is this constant tension. So the adage about beauty only being skin deep is true. If we don't get our water rights settled and maintain our historic water deliveries, we will be forced to leave. That's easier for me but there are descendents of homesteaders that have large farms and ranches that will be put out of business if these events come to pass and all the fruits of their families generational work (over 100 years worth) will lost! I'm an irrigation commissioner so I'm in the thick of it.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
