Truck Convoy Backs Farmers in Water Dispute
A convoy of trucks from across the West brought food and a symbolic water bucket to farmers shut off from a federal irrigation project to protect endangered fish.
About 1,000 people cheered when a crane lifted a 10-foot-tall steel bucket bearing an American flag off a flatbed trailer and onto the plaza of the Klamath County Government Center.
The bucket was part of a parade of 50 riders on horseback, three pickup trucks, three semis, one logging truck and three hay trucks that paraded down Main Street after driving in from Montana, Nevada and Southern California.
