In this Friday, June 7, 2013, photo farmer Kent Peppler inspects one of his irrigation ditches that provides water to irrigate his crops on his farm near Greeley, Colo.  Peppler says he is fallowing some of his corn fields this year because he can't afford to irrigate the land, in part because deep-pocketed energy companies have driven up the price of water.
