I guess what happened on our farm that day was very rare. It hasn't happened again, and I don't expect it to or don't plan for it to. The problem is within our court systems. There was another farm that, again, two years before our situation, had it happen, and the judge said, “You know, they could have done more to prevent the problem.”
Had we known in advance, six months ahead of time, what was going to happen and built a 40-foot cement wall to keep the water from going in the streams and it still went over the top, they would have said, “They should have built it higher.”
There's no common sense; that's the problem.
