Should have followed the rules cheating is an uneven game.
Cheating who?
The article tells you how Greiff applied for rights to water both fields with the same amount of water. The state approved the application for both fields (on record) back in 1975 but inexplicably only issued certification for one. He’s spent decades with a consultant (who previously worked for the state, so he knows how they operate and can guide Greiff through their maze) to clear up the mess. The consultant thinks it’s a paperwork snafu on the part of the state but, in the meantime, the state is making Greiff jump through costly hoops to keep operating.
He wasn’t cheating on anything nor trying to defraud anyone. I give the guy kudos for still working his land at 85 YO. Tough ol geezer.... if’n ya ask me. Leave him the H3LL alone. Dudes even using older equipment and not the latest/greatest BS.
