Change Quote by Judith D. Schwartz
““Slaps in the face like this provide opportunities for change. A drought definitely gets people thinking about how they can manage resources better. It’s easy to see then that our ranch has more grass and more animals, and makes more money. A flood is a harder link for people to make. People think they have no control over it. We actually do.””
