Our old head gate was made of wood and many, many years old.  A couple of times last year when I went to open the gate the wood broke off in my hand.

But this was the magic year…our canal was on the ditch companies to do list for maintenance! 

We now have a new METAL headgate. 

  Terry fixed the carrier ditch so we are now good to go as soon as farming starts.

Pretty cool!  Another sure sign spring is getting closer.
