Very good point. If the laws were structured so that this would
be way cases like are handled, and these laws were inforceable,
we might be able to save somethings at least...

I think you're referring to the letter I wrote. This guy doesn't
have any CP on his land. Just a drainage ditch, a man made drainage
ditch! Ok the way the law is written though, says that because his
ditch is wet for so many days out of year, it is considered a wet-
land. Now the land has been farmed for generations now, what could
possibly there to save at this point? This is a clear cut example
of mismanagement. This farmer has spent over $200,000 on fighting
it, and he's given up.
