June 23 - Fire

In the original post about the Bosque Farms Fire a post by Ms. Desmet thanking those who helped her was shared.

One last comment about this post.

She made it sound as if she expected the MRGCD to help her farm specifically.

But why? Why would she expect them to swoop in and help her personally?

These are the things they do for individuals: -- Help with water and farm planning -- Soil and Water Testing -- Financial Incentives and Water Leasing -- Property Mapping -- A few other random things.

The rest of what they do is take care of the Bosque. Ensure there is access to the Bosque, control access to the Bosque, provide recreational places and a few other things.

So when they were here fighting the fire - it was to help and because the fire was in the Bosque.
