Farmers Oppose Water Control Move in Maryland Study Call
Maryland farm leaders testified before the Judiciary Committee in Baltimore on September 11 to oppose immediate state control of water used in agriculture. They urged a full study and argued water decisions should rest with a water commission representing all users, not a single official, and that farming should remain exempt from strict control. The committee adopted an unfavorable report on Dr. Lingewald’s amendment.
