“To feed this world is going to take a lot of groundwater,” said farmer and owner of Curry Seed & Chili Co., Ed Curry . Ed Curry has been farming in Pearce for over 50 years.

He has four wells on his properties, all pumping water from deeper than when he started 53 years ago.
“The reality is, if we don't stop the expansion, we're really in trouble,” Curry said. An AMA would limit water usage for property owners based on their average usage over the last five years. It would also prevent any additional irrigation systems to be installed to properties on the basin.
