Farmers Fight Silt Dumping Plan Across County
In LINTON Texas farmers, county officials, banks, and oil firms oppose the U S Army Corps of Engineers plan to dump harbor silt on 1 200 acres of prime San Patricio County farmland. The corps cites feasibility and cost concerns, while locals warn of ruined crops and lost land values. A formal hearing is set for August as disputes surface over land rights and environmental impacts.
