Since the state is enacting these laws and regulations it should be responsible for conducting environmental surveys which determine the level of ground water available in various areas. Some parts of Oregon are very dry while others have a surplus of water. Shouldn't the burden of proof rest with the State/plaintiff.

[@michaeljensen4650]

Why haven't there been any articles written by the Register-Gaurd or the Eugene Weekly on this important issue. The only place I've heard about this topic is from alternative media sources.

It's very interesting how the government enforces or overrides environmental legal protections when and how it suites them.

[@sarahanderson8459]

As an Oregonian, I don’t think this has anything to do with water, but everything to do with control. Small market gardeners and small livestock farmers aren’t using up the ground water. That’s ridiculous when you understand how these small farmers operate. In my opinion, this is the state’s way to promote fear and control.

[@ericfitzsimmons1202]

Oregon is controlled by Marxists. Those who control the food.....

[@AOCisHome]

Thousands of home have small, not deep, wells. This is the help the homeowners keep the water table accessible. If the water table drops thousands of homes will be cut off and a new well costs more money then these homeowners have. Think about a 15k bill, maybe more, to redrill your well. Now multiply that by 10,000 homes.

The cow farts thing is wild because cattle are just playing a role in the nitrogen cycle. Plants grow and take up nitrogen, and when they die release. If atmospheric water was persevere as just as bad (it is the worst green house gas, technically) then nobody would blame the trees and grass for participating in the water cycle. Ruminants are being scapegoated to the ecologically illiterate. The bugs over meat thing is wild too because the food bugs eat 100% grain that could have been fed to people, and ruminants don’t need any. The whole argument for it breaks itself down because they’re sensitive about our food going to stock. And yet nobody talks about the ethanol that takes calories out of the food system and COSTS MORE FOSSIL FUEL TO CREATE THAN IT REPLACES. I try not to think too hard about ethanol. The stupidity just breaks my mind.

Initially I saw this happening and just dismissed it, since technically the laws have been this way for a VERY long time, and it just seems like these people are ignorant, and it's their own fault that they are getting shut down, which in some ways is true, but... It is a fundamental and highly concerning issue that people can legally use up to 5000 gallons per day for commercial purposes, even without water rights, UNLESS it is for producing food, which is insane. Car washes, soda fountains, water parks, swimming pools, fabrication plants, all perfectly legal uses. Food? Absolutely not. Add to that the fact that they only started truly enforcing these laws in a broad way during and post-pandemic, specifically at a time when food prices were climbing to all-time highs(2021), specifically with freshly increased funding through legislation, for enforcement of those laws that had gone mostly ignored for many years. Consider also that fast-food workers were considered essential, but the government ordered, and had cordoned off, most garden centers, and made seeds and garden supplies more difficult to purchase by categorizing them as non-essential. It's all planned, and it's all been carefully orchestrated. It can't be more obvious when you look at the timeline and consider all factors, they want us poor, sick, and desperately in need of them.

I lived in a small farming and ranching community in southern Oregon for seven years. The water issues were a constant problem. When this problem and government encroachment reaches the hay producers (because they have to irrigate in order to grow hay and Oregon and Nevada produce a huge amount of hay for dairy’s, as well as, for Japan) then watch food prices sky rocket. It’s not just water that’s a problem. When I was there and diesel fuel prices reached $5, hay prices jumped to incredibly high amounts. Many Ranchers use horses to check their fences and livestock, and when coming back to their stock trailers, they were finding them loaded with horses that were not theirs! People could not afford the hay and they were desperate to save their horses. I’ve always said that food starts with grass and hay. Twenty years ago, they were trying to implement electronic tagging of every animal and if you wanted to move an animal down the road to a different pasture, you’d have to get a permit. It’s coming again. Many farmers and ranchers are at the age where they just don’t want the hassle anymore. I loved Oregon so much, and my friends were all farmers and ranchers- all good people simply wanting to be left alone to live their lives. Thank you for your great information and for trying to get the word out in support for market gardening and farming and ranching.

Conservatives and liberals actually have a lot in common. However, there is a huge difference between a leftist and a liberal. Leftists and liberals have very little in common! Liberals have way more in common with a conservative than they do a Leftist. Leftism has taken over Oregon, and honest classical liberals keep voting for them because they think they're on the same side. They're not. Good liberals keep believing mainstream media lies about conservatives. Leftists want socialism, huge government control, power.... Liberals and conservatives want small government, individual rights, and have a love of family and their country. They differ on social issues, but they do have a lot in common. Good liberals are realizing this and recognizing that their party has been infiltrated. Politically, the Democrat Party is almost all leftist. Have you noticed that there are different groups in the Republican Party now? Example: Republican groups such as moderate and maga. (Christine Drazan was moderate, and definitely not maga). I know it's a hard change, but classical liberals will need to stop voting blue if they want to save their country and states.

During Feudalism in Europe in the middle ages the crown used common land seizures, restriction on freedom to travel and constant rent increases to starve and displace the native inhabitants. This is why life expectancy was so low and it also provided unlimited free labour, not just for the lords of the manor but also to provide slaves for the plantations in the new colonies. Yes you read that right. The first slaves brought by the Europeans to the Caribbean and North America were destitute teenagers bound to a contract of indentured servitude by a judiciary court, often for the newly created crime of vagrancy.

I was surprised to be first acquainted with such info from a government institution, ironically. While visiting New Zealand about ten years ago, I visited the capital's premier state museum Te Papa. (Not sure what the English term is, but that's another story.) In any case, one exhibit highlighted the immigrants of the 1800's. One quoted a migrant from the UK who referred to escaping slavery in Britain. I have since researched slavery in more depth, and come to similar conclusions. I now think they are transitioning to taxation as the modern form of slavery. It has the added bonus of involving the blind consent of many of its subjects.
