Idaho Gov’t Shuts Down Water for 500,000 Acres of Farmland in Latest Effort to Engineer Mass Famine
Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) director Matthew Weaver issued a curtailment order for farmers using groundwater irrigation in six districts that affects half a million acres. Thousands of farmers across the Snake River Plain must now abandon their fields or else face steep fines. Critic Adam Young warned that this order will upend the local and regional economies of eastern Idaho as family farms, grain merchandisers, potato warehouses, food processors, truckers, input suppliers and equipment dealers see their business models evaporate, and as banks face the prospect of widespread defaults. He says Idaho has plenty of water, the reservoirs are filled, the snowpack was above average, more than 200 billion gallons of water were released to prevent flooding, and the state’s rivers have swollen beyond their banks.
It is almost as if the powers that be in Idaho want to starve the state’s farmers of water in order to create a food crisis.
