Prayers and blessings go to the people of Idaho, the farmers who were struggling. I hope that you didn't lose much of your crops and that the damage can be mitigated.😢❤
Western water law is complex and serious business. I don't pretend to know a lot about it but I understand that if you surrender your senior water rights, you can't get them back.
The western US is running out of water you id10t. Nobody has a great solution, but the government isn’t doing this for laughs, there’s actually a water shortage reason.
For those saying, “good”, don’t release a sigh of relief yet. These “reporters” told you nothing. The timing of this was quite purposeful, to make sure they had these farmers under duress. What they signed was basically a “lose your farm now, or lose it in small increments over the next few years”. What choice did they have? Now we all know why that water adjudication process we just went through was so “important”. They needed a convenient excuse to do this. The high surface water year just made it more obvious that it doesn’t add up, and it doesn’t (not based on what’s being said here). Dig into it, follow the money. Start with Yanasa TV channel.
I have wonder if the presence of cobalt in that area and the Dept. of Defense putting money toward the mining of cobalt has anything to do with this water issue.
The cobalt mine does not use water from the water shed area in question . The portion of the Snake river drainage basin getting curtailed ... is before where the Salmon river enters it. And I would say the greedy corporate interests involved here ... are probably those of keeping the fast food french fry supply and potato chips flowing. Seeing how those food items are going for a premium these days . And might of been worried about quality being reduced from following the mitigation steps all farmers in the region had agreed to follow a few years ago if aquifer levels were at certain points . Yes the Twin Falls water authority and delivery system might be out of date. But under Idaho law , they are the senior water right holder . So why did the junior water rights districts choose to ignore their mitigation agreement ??? I would guess who they supply potatoes to will not accept an inferior crop ?
It wasn’t a surprise when the farmers were going to plant their crops . Why all of the stress on the farmers. Any one in the office ever get their hands dirty “ putting their hand to the plow ?”
It was overreach of government bureaucrats to shut it down in the first place. Govt officials making bad decisions yet again, I’m surprised to see it in Idaho of all places. Glad to see it’s finally lifted for all the great farmers that work so hard to provide food to the people of the United States 🇺🇸
Good. That was horrible what they were putting the farmers through. And having watered farmland may help to stop the spread of these horrible wild fires. I can remember when we had a wildfire a few miles away in Southern California. We had a shake shingle roof. Dad climbed up there and setup a sprinkler. We had coals from the fire raining down on us. Four people lost their lives from that fire.
Is this a big part of what's happening behind the scenes, that's driving the SE Idaho water issue? th-cam.com/video/S0GGbz54Y2U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JbgNkNa8z5SOdZoj
If we can dictate an end to use of fossil fuels and groundwater usage, why doesn’t the government just dictate the end to eating food? Small price to save the planet.
The average household uses 1 acre foot of water a year 330000 gallons.Control all the housing.I cant believe what has happened to Boise it looks like Sacramento Ca.
Farming is a tough business. Guaranteed income is a blessing. Solar companies pay $1,000 to $1,500 an acre a year. This gives a farmer steady income not subject to weather and in places (like Idaho) that irrigate, they can use their water allocation elsewhere.
This was a test of how much overlords can control the people.. they will come back with a better strategy for taking control of the entire area in the near future.. My father as a farmer told me in the early 90s that the next biggest fight in this country was going to be over Water and here we are with the entire western region fighting government over water rights.. It’s going to get real ugly in the west..
Yep ... Cuz Twin Falls will just put bigger deeper wells in the aquifer to ensure their senior water rights get taken care of ... and to bad so sad for the farmers with their shallow wells in other water districts. Seeing how they cannot be trusted to follow mitigation agreements they signed 9 years ago. So you are right , that this is about control ... with the junior water rights showing they have no self control .
its not dry- same timeframe granted jervais cobalt mining operation contract goes thru and go ahead!! high water consumption :) many polititions invested jervais
This still an administrative decision that is still related to the original order, Any administrative decision that causes greater harm to others based on a senior water right is lacking. The US Supreme Court (SC) just struck down the Chevron doctrine which required the courts to give deference to administrative agencies. The next one was a 2A case that struck down new interpretation of rules which are opposite tradition and history (redefining water rights based on new novel approach). Final case deals with administrative decisions, contested case being heard by an administrative law judge that works for the agency (contested case opinions, civil penalties, takings such as use of your land). SC said that under the 7th amendment (I think) was a violation of a persons right. The individual was entitled to a jury trial. These cases all involved the Executive branch violating the separation of powers clause by creating legal authority (congress) and issuing judgements (US Courts). A parallel exists in most states. The powers in the three branches of government need to be brought back in alignment with the US Constitution and State Constitutions.
WHAT was contained in the "deal" ?? And it was first reported that 500,000 acres would be shut off. Your saying 330,000 acres get a reprieve. So that still leaves 170,000 acres whose farms will have no water and go bankrupt. Idaho is turning BLUE. Our beautiful Idaho is being destroyed.
In the West, water is serious business. I watched several videos from farmers talking about this and they were careful to say they were not trying to take away senior water rights. As noted in the video, they got together like adults and worked things out.
When will ID ban spraying of the skies? Everyone I talk to says their home gardens produced poorly - let's join other states that have banned spraying the skies with chemicals that poison ground and air!!
And in a year...2024, right now...when there is plenty of water and snow. This insanity is destructive and needs to stop.
Prayers and blessings go to the people of Idaho, the farmers who were struggling. I hope that you didn't lose much of your crops and that the damage can be mitigated.😢❤
Glad to hear it . 🙏🏼For Idaho
Yes! I hope it will be resolved long term. Good job guys!
Its not about saving water its about exercising power by the power hungry.
Western water law is complex and serious business. I don't pretend to know a lot about it but I understand that if you surrender your senior water rights, you can't get them back.
The western US is running out of water you id10t. Nobody has a great solution, but the government isn’t doing this for laughs, there’s actually a water shortage reason.
Farmers are heroes and the hardest working people.
I know I worked on a fruit farm in Emmett in high-school hardest job I ever did

They should have never cut it in the first place.
I have wonder if the presence of cobalt in that area and the Dept. of Defense putting money toward the mining of cobalt has anything to do with this water issue.
It's probably more about wickedness and huge corporate investors trying to take over everything...just like they said they would.
yes just heard about this and posted link to Jimmy Dore's report up above...
The cobalt mine does not use water from the water shed area in question .
The portion of the Snake river drainage basin getting curtailed ... is before where the Salmon river enters it.

Amen! Allow it to stay lifted.

Dont curtail water for farmers as we need them, curtail water for politicians.
Uh? I thought there was a question of toxicity due to cobalt mining?
As it should be. If they decide against it, do a class action suit against this crooked government.
Keep standing against overreach!! ❣
Not good news. Half million acres isn't 330 million. Potatoes in USA are rice to others.
That's what I caught, it doesn't sound like they restored it all. This whole thing was nothing more than a land grab!
Someone was probably trying to get the land for cheap..
Starts with a B and ends with a Gates.
They care more about mining than producing food ! Follow the money !
Doesn’t the Idaho cobalt mine need more water though?
Extreme government overreach we need to start holding these people accountable for their policies
What about the other 170,000 acres?
Thank God the farmers won this battle but the Leftwingers war on farmers is not over!
Calm down, this is about water rights. Both sides are Idaho people. Just how many left wing people are there in Idaho with senior water rights?
The foods for our tables are provided by FARMERS!
I'm so glad to hear that. Those people were getting a bad deal!!
Why not let them all have the water.
Meanwhile... FB data centers are using millions of gallons a DAY in 18 locations around the united states.
What city is near this?
Thank God!!! This is common sense!!! We must protect our farmers!!! They feed us!!!😢
Good. That was horrible what they were putting the farmers through. And having watered farmland may help to stop the spread of these horrible wild fires. I can remember when we had a wildfire a few miles away in Southern California. We had a shake shingle roof. Dad climbed up there and setup a sprinkler. We had coals from the fire raining down on us.

There’s something big the government wants that area for cobalt
People need food to live. Food, comes from farms. 🙄
Is this a big part of what's happening behind the scenes, that's driving the SE Idaho water issue?

It should of never happened, period!!!!
The average household uses 1 acre foot of water a year 330000 gallons.Control all the housing.I cant believe what has happened to Boise it looks like Sacramento Ca.
What about the other 200k acres?
What about the other 160K acres? th-cam.com/video/YExHzXzfbYg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4drQOud06jq7IbIA
It sure is a shame Idaho farmers can't get water from the columbia river. With the amount I just seen they are releasing at Mc nary dam.
They want the acres for solar, keep fighting.
Cobalt and data mining, but yeah.
Farming is a tough business. Guaranteed income is a blessing. Solar companies pay $1,000 to $1,500 an acre a year. This gives a farmer steady income not subject to weather and in places (like Idaho) that irrigate, they can use their water allocation elsewhere.
It's TOO LATE for all those affected
You forgot to mention that in 2016 an agreement was made and the Jr water users didn't sign and uphold the agreement
Amen Amen Amen
Good news
Listen
It’s not good, they can change the deal anytime. What about the future
This was a test of how much overlords can control the people.. they will come back with a better strategy for taking control of the entire area in the near future.. My father as a farmer told me in the early 90s that the next biggest fight in this country was going to be over Water and here we are with the entire western region fighting government over water rights..

Seeing how they cannot be trusted to follow mitigation agreements they signed 9 years ago.
So you are right , that this is about control ... with the junior water rights showing they have no self control .
It's about our government does something right everything they have done since 2020 has been destructive to our country 🇺🇲
At the end of the season
its not dry- same timeframe granted jervais cobalt mining operation contract goes thru and go ahead!! high water consumption :) many polititions invested jervais

Except Chevron affected federal agencies. This is a state agency concerning western water law.
After people lost everything.

oh , and the money came from the Ukraine bill money , hahaha. huh?
What about the other 170000 acres?
Stay thirsty my friends.....
Humm ?
Good
Good because wtf was that insanity anyways????
In the West, water is serious business. I watched several videos from farmers talking about this and they were careful to say they were not trying to take away senior water rights. As noted in the video, they got together like adults and worked things out.
What Ukraine needs water?
When will ID ban spraying of the skies? Everyone I talk to says their home gardens produced poorly - let's join other states that have banned spraying the skies with chemicals that poison ground and air!!
There are other aquifers that need recharging. The water leaving the dam is not wasted. We are all in this together, we have to share resources.

Awh the poor developers and investors worried about there housing golf courses 😂
