Howdy,
Sorry about opening up a hornets' nest on this subject. I agree about there being risks with having a farm on a flood plain and all. I have to say I wasn't informed on all the nuts and bolts about yearly letters and all that. However, I do think that there should be another option when it comes to this kind of thing. I live in South Central Ohio and up river there is a town called Portsmouth. It floods there every year. Well, before the year 1937 they built a flood wall around the town. They thought it would take any flood you could throw at it. Well, in 1937 the wall was overrun. So, what did they do? They built a new wall and built it so high that it would take a 500 year flood to overrun it. My point earlier was that instead of having safety plans where it's flood one guy over another, why don't they do like Portsmouth and fix the flooding issues where they happen? Just my opinion. God bless.
