Quit whining about farmers

This is for people who are sleep-walking through life. The city of Fresno has 280 water wells and counting. For your enlightenment, these wells pump water 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Farmers pump water six to seven months during the year. The pumps are not used 24 hours a day, every day but maybe three to five days, every 10 days to two weeks. As of now, the pumps are off until March. Are the city’s?

By the way, the city of Clovis is not included in this count. So quit whining, and look in the mirror.
