Alabama farmers propose a project to eradicate poverty
Ponds have always proved to be an important resource for mankind. One must be aware of the fact that they can be of great help in many ways. In many places they have not been maintained properly and one should bear in mind the fact that if they are not nurtured properly it amounts to losing a great heritage of Mother Nature.
In this connection the latest event is the proposal by farmers belonging to ALABAMA.
They have set up a new idea which they claim could address all the problems faced by the nation. They will be helpful to do way with other problems like food supply and poverty which has had its worse effect in Black Belt. They are also confident that this will help in saving federal tax dollars. It is also understood that their plan needs to be studied in death to make it a reality.
This ha been published as an article in Newhouse News Service. The working of this is quiet simple. What the government needs to do is to just construct ponds across the state. This will help in getting the required water supply for expanding irrigation. Once this is done almost half of the burden is over. This will facilitate in the increased yields of corn and other crops. Similarly it would also do away with the problems relating to summer droughts.
If this comes true they said that poverty can be eliminated and all on needs for this plan is a firm determination coupled with proper utilization of resources. This will make sure that the black belt will no more be known for poverty but for prosperity. They optimistically uphold with confidence that if the ideas are implemented with right zeal the project can do great wonders that one can ever expect.
Only the legal formalities for this plan have to be approved by the government in accordance with statutes. Since the rainfall is quiet abundant there is no question of the proposal to backfire. This move will heavily reduce the burden of the government and provide a great means to the suffering public.
Additionally, the wisdom of the federal government sharing in the cost of building the ponds would need to be fully debated. But it's a plan with potential, and deserves a fair shake.
