Once again, I am here as an Idaho local to inform you that this fight isn't new, and "these poor farmers" are glyphosate, GMO, and chemical fertilizer using, monocrop producing, big lawyer bullying, assholes who have been getting rich playing the system for 100+ years. Buying desert land for pennies on the dollar and then using nepotism to transfer water rights away from riparian areas to break out new fields has destroyed thousands of acres of wildlife habitat, displaced families, and over appropriated our basins. They think they've been clever when in fact, they've been unethical. My grandma's domestic well ran dry a few years ago. We haven't had water on some of our property for 30+ years because their money and nepotism codified theft. Reap what you sow.
I work in ag. Private, but large. I see it all the time. That scenario is everywhere in high density ag regions. The greed of money truly is the root of all evil.
I don't know what to think. I'm sure there are some small farmers getting caught with their pants down, and that sucks, but the irrigators being curtailed are all holding water rights from after 1950s, which coincides with big ag's explosive addiction to industrial fertilizer and fed farm subsidies. We only get 10 inches of average annual precipitation. To put that into perspective, Arizona averages 12. If you have irrigators pumping more than what naturally recharges into the aquifer from that 10" of precipitation, then your system is over appropriated and will continue to decline until a change is made, and the law says "First in time, first in line." If that means shutting off newer irrigators to reach sustainable recharge, then so be it. Broadly speaking they're a handful of hypocritical "good ol' boys" who wave around Gadsden flags while getting rich off the government's teat. Who has the money to buy up thousands of acres of previously unfarmed land, procure ground water rights, hire full time lawyers to wheel and deal the state to get said water on said land, and then put it all under pivot under 80% Fed funded equip projects? Probably not many "small" farmers.
Surely it has nothing to do with the newish cobalt mine which needs extraordinary amounts of water to make EV batteries. Surely the government wouldn't put shareholder profits before hardworking farmers and food production.
Well it is like they say, every evil they are going to do to us they have to tell us and thanks to Q and a lot of others people are starting to really pay attention more
When they were planning all of this ten or twenty years ago (the practical moving parts of their plan I mean, I know they planned much of this further back), there was not supposed to be a Twitter where you would read about this and see videos of dead crops etc. Most people outside of a few locals, on their timeline, wouldn't know this was happening. All the average voter would see is news stories and social media posts about water shortages. In their little minds the dead crops on the side of the highway and the lack of food on the shelves would seem like a totally organic (no pun intended) event.
Calgary is currently in a water emergency and rationing right now. Lots of water available, but the infrastructure is down. Expect to see a lot more of this as the year progresses.
I drove across MN, ND, MT, to Idaho border last week. I have never in my life seen so much water in the region. Everything is lush and green in the Badlands. Rivers, lakes, ponds and streams are overflowing.
There is no water issue in the northern US this year. It is sopping wet out there.
Not 1 drop of water has ever left the Earth.
How is the world "short" on water?
You sound like you don’t trust the science. You don’t want to be “beagle’d do you?
The water is going into outer space and landing on Mars.
But water we going to do about it?
We're gonna send so much money mars. That'll teach them to withhold water from us!
We could get it to Pluto...that would be a freezing experience...don'tcha' think????
Cool story bro.
The Mars located in Greenland or whereever you mean?
Why did somebody give me a -1 point? People have no sense of humor.
Not me. ;)
Maybe the daily contrails, which now have a starburst pattern, have something to do with it?
That is why we keep having these weird rain patterns across the world.
70% of our planet is covered in water, but we're running out. Someone needs to get impeached/recalled.
True dat lol. And the same ratio of fresh to salt water still exist as ever did.

Thanks for the local scoop. There's always a perspective rooted in reality we're conveniently protected from...
*Sew your pants and sow your seed...
Thanks, edited sew -> sow
Very interesting perspective, which another reason why I don't pass judgement instantly until I read something like this. Thx for the insight, friend.
What do you think the goal is here? Although these farmers are unethical, globalists goal is obviously to control food.
What do you think about all of this? It is an agenda to do something negative, interested in what you think.
Intentions? Solutions?

What are they going to use the cobalt for; make drill bits?
Cobalt is used for a lot of things, FWIW.
"Crops are dying though, the entire East Idaho economy is under direct threat of disaster if those farms fail.
But hey … if the unelected UN says ‘jump’ the globalists compete to jump the highest, consequences be damned."
We refused the shot
Now ((they)) will starve us
They will try but with God's help we will not!
Well it is like they say, every evil they are going to do to us they have to tell us and thanks to Q and a lot of others people are starting to really pay attention more
We really could use a Military is the only way right about now.... this shit won't end until 80% of us are dead.

Awesome find.
The lovely thing about the upper Midwest is we have no shortage of surface water. My lake has over 240 million gallons in it.
According to the story, Idaho is flush right now too. Curious coincidence that lawmakers 'need' that land that they're currently starving of water.
ALL the shortages mankind is facing are Cabal caused, plain and simple.

We were told to watch the water.
Perhaps it’s drama like this that’s included.
Where are the lawsuits? Unconstitutional
All liars, in order to control food. Show proof and keep your hands of of privately drilled wells.
They're shutting off the "potato water" and spreading "parrot flu" disease.
STFU with the retweets on "Biden".
Apparently "Biden" was "frozen" the other day and BO led him off the stage. Maybe the psyop order has been updated?

Think lithium and corrupt politicians.
