The
Minkerwell Drainage District Likely Discontinued by Court Ruling
Judge Andrew Thornell ruled this week in the Ernest Barker et al v. Mills County Board of Supervisors case that the proposed Minkelwait drainage ditch would cause water backflow and damage to Barker land, likely halting the district. The decision could also affect the Watson district where nearly ninety landowners seek damages in a separate suit. Weather in Mills County swung from 60 to 100 degrees as a heat wave broke with a rainstorm that dumped over four inches. Kuester, an oil conservationist from Red Oak, presented a new county soil map at the Martin Rotary Club showing a mix of top soil, eroded land, and areas needing conservation to protect soil and crop yields.
