As of early July, Lake Mead is at its lowest level since the construction of the Hoover Dam back in the 1930s, meaning that a water shortage declaration is all but guaranteed for the Colorado River next year.
Farmers in Pinal County will feel the brunt of the cuts, which may affect the future of Caywood Farms in Casa Grande. We re not sure how long we can hang on. We re getting nervous about it. We can only sit back and watch this for so long, says Nancy Caywood of Caywood Farms.
