SHOT 5/21/2003 - Despite concerns over the ongoing drought and an ever decreasing water supply, farmers in Rocky Ford have gone ahead with planting this year although on a somewhat scaled back basis. Rocky Ford farmer and rancher Vernon John Proctor was planting corn that will feed some of his livestock. Proctor's father, Vernon Proctor, was tamping down the dirt in the furrows running across the field to allow the water to flow over it easier..(Photo by Marc Piscotty / © 2003)
