Farmers are sad. The leaders want money. It is for water from long ago. This water is from nine years ago. Farmers must pay for it now.
The rule for water money started then. But the leaders did not ask for it. Now, farmers must pay much money. Some owe a lot. This is a big problem.
Farmers also have no rain. They have less water for plants. Farm things cost more money. So, they have less money. It is hard for them.
Farm leaders talk to the leaders. They say no rain makes small food. More costs also hurt farms. It is hard to get money.
A leader says it is a bad time. He wants the leaders to stop. He thinks farmers need help.
More talks will happen. The leaders will see farmers soon. Farmers may pay the old money slowly. But they still must pay all. This is a big problem.
