A Regional Watershed Advisory Task Force, a legislative committee charged with studying water management issues, held its third meeting in Webster last week where the message from landowners was relief from the ever rising sloughs and lakes.
A handful of area farmers convinced the Day County Commission that requiring notices before drain tiling is a step in the wrong direction.
Drainage was one of the main topics discussed at the recent Clark Area 2013 Legislative Cracker Barrel, held February 18 at the Ullyot Building.
In response to concerns about water management in the state, South Dakota Farmers Union will host a meeting in Britton on Monday, Aug. 6, to address water problems.
