Jones Letter: Dams

Grain growers have an option, fish don’t. Once again I have read the pros and cons of barging and removal of the Lower Snake River dams. There is one thing that grain growers have in getting the product to market that fish don’t. An option: truck, rail or water. Fish don’t, they just have water. Once the fish are gone, they’re gone. When the dams are gone, grain growers still have a option, rail or truck.
