Can Krug Smite Colorado's Flow Editorial
The Sunday American-Statesman in Austin May 25 asks if Krug can end Colorado River flow. A Washington hearing raised fears among rice growers below Austin over a 160 acre irrigation limit for Reclamation Bureau projects. The Mansfield Dam issue ties into state control and possible water shutoffs for large rice farms, with years of negotiation on Interior Department payment terms ongoing.

Rice farming limits spark Texas water meeting debate
The Texas Water Conservation Association warns a 160 acre cap would ruin rice farming in Texas, since 160 acres are uneconomic due to irrigation costs, ditches, and equipment. Judge Sturrock notes 300 acres is the smallest viable unit, while rice districts like Wharton and Matagorda average near 1,000 acres. Intermixed local notices include Dressed Hens for sale and residents traveling to Hunt, Texas.
