Gravity irrigation ditch
July 19, 2011
Len Pettinger opens holes on the sides of a gravity irrigation ditch to divert water onto one of the Alfalfa hay fields on his farm in Brighton, Colo., Thursday, June 30, 2011. “It’s a very sad, sad, sad, sad commentary,” Pettinger said about the recent State Supreme Court ruling affecting the amount of water farmers in the area can use. “All I wanted to do is hang on to pass it on to the family. But what’s there going to be to pass on now?”
