Trinity farmer loses crop battle as river reshapes land
John Beck, Navarro County Democrat leader, abandoned farming 782 acres in 1966 after the Trinity River flooded repeatedly. He now grazes Hereford cattle on cleared pastures and backs a Trinity River Canal plan tied to the Tennessee Colony Dam, arguing a controlled river could protect communities and raise land value despite 200 acres affected. The river has flooded annually since 1964, with notable 15 foot rises and rapid surges threatening cattle in Beck’s valley.
