Its the 30x30 plan. I live in Box Elder SD and the shut off the public water access without notice or recourse that my family has been hauling from for 60+ years. Governor Noem was strong in her first term, failing in her 2nd term but now she's fallen deaf. Unelected officials took our water away so we're taking theirs away. Civil discourse is key when our representative government no longer represents the basic needs of the people, like literally food and water!!!
Commifornia during the start of the covid singed an executive order for their own 30x30 plan. The environmental which are backing/pushing this want the 30% to come from private land owners which would make the Gov owning or restricted almost 80% of the state since more than 50% is already owned by a gov agency. Idaho needs to get the treasonous bureaucrats that are influenced and pushing the fed gov out. All the red states need to band together and push back the federal 30x30 plan.
We just about had that happen to several businesses here. They were not aware of this water curtailment. It is horrible to see that other areas are also having similar issues. I know nothing of your particular details but hope that your neighbors can band together and find a workable solution so everyone can have the water they need.
in the realm of "water rights" the first to the trough always gets the most water except drinking water is #1. those with the oldest right is #2 and downhill from there. however, no ad ministrative agency has the power to cut off the water, they wait for fools to give authority to a court with no authority by taking take an "ad ministrative decision" to court. remember, the ad ministrative employee actor "judge" is an employee of state and obligated to act in the interests of his/her employer

They are as corrupt as it get's. Farmer's go through this problem with them constantly.
Unfortunately, both the federal and state governments are corporations that just see us as employees. The best solution is for your community to finance a community well(s) that accesses primary water. Surface water is part of the secondary water system and limited, as seen in dry years. The system likes limitations on our essentials for living and won't invest or enlighten the masses about the endless supply of primary water below the surface. Why? Because they prefer to control than be controlled...it is really that simple. And they won't stop as they want to reduce the population through any means they are capable of making happen.

We didn't get toys like the neighbor kids got. Birthdays the same. My mother taught me at the age of 12 how to plant vegetable seeds, water them then can them for Winter. There were local farms in our NM city that sold produce (today the land is a Walmart Store). We could buy a 20 pound box of Tomatoes for 5 bucks then go back home and she showed us kids how to can tomatoes, Mason Jars, caps and lids, water bath. dash of salt in each jar. Sure, miss that today. She taught how to make jams, jellies, syrup from fruit, We canned our winter food supply. Not many people do that today because those farms became subdivisions. In High School in the mid Seventies, I had a classmate whose family planted a garden in their front yard instead of grass and their dad raised rabbits in the back yard. That rabbit pelleted manure is the best fertilizer too.

@@americafirst9144 I’m talking about storing the water rather than releasing it in to the river. We drain our dams way too early. I’m obviously not talking about natural water flows since this topic is about irrigation.
I read something about mines there that use more water than farmers, but you wonder who has stocks or interests in the mines. Lots or reasons for corruption. This agency should be sued. It probably is an unelected bureaucrat trying for kickbacks.
Good job Sir... You spoke clearly without a teleprompter, and you didn't serve us a big Word Salad. And im pretty positive you didn't poop yourself during this message. Its pretty obvious you are President material. Hope things work out for you farmers up there.
Check for big projects that demand water. They may be industrial, mining, or environmental. I had a friend who lived in Oregon who lost their land because of an environmental project. Make sure that you know who you are dealing with. If it is just the present players on the table, yu can probably find a solution.
I read they are using the Ukrainian funds for a cobalt mine in Idaho for a Australian company named Jervois that needs water. Maybe it's the real reason for the curtailment?
I read that too. Cobalt mining uses a ridiculous amount of water and leaves the environment toxic at the end. Praying the farmers and folks up there keep pushing back until the gov't backs the heck off. This is the same garbage that is plaguing the EU farmers.

Im a Patron of Central Oregon Irrigation District and all 7 districts are Piping Canals because we are losing 50% of the water truned into the canals . Twin Falls Canal needs to be Piped so they can leave back 3-400000 acre feet of water in the wetlands .

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. Takes a lot water to mine and process cobalt.
Does this have anything to do with contracts for water cooling and demands at the **colbalt **mines? Just curious, it just seems there is more to this story...amd no one is digging for it.

Not around! All days are good but some are better than others. Just Praise Him and believe He will get you through no matter how it looks.
As a Utahn, this is interesting. All of the surface water is managed by the government here. We couldn’t even (legally) collect rainwater without permits until just a few years ago, and it’s only up to 100 gallons that you don’t need a permit for now. I know that Idaho has had much more lenient water usage rules, and I know Idahoans who leave their sprinklers running for an entire day just because they can. Sounds like that era is coming to a close.
Alright, I looked into this. The mine is not in the same water shed. Lemhi county Idaho is near us. We sell some hay that direction. However, our curtailment is not related to the issues they are facing. I am concerned about this issue and need to do some more learning about it. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
That is the only reason, the billions of dollars that was given to Ukraine was actually rerouted to Cobalt Mines in Idaho and they want the water and the property to expand mining.
This is one reason we all need to get involved and ask the right questions to make sure that the farmers have the water resources they need. Please contact your local politicians and ask them these questions ask the questions that really need to be asked and call you local and state reps with the questions. Which state and local reps have shares in Idaho Power and how much would they have made if the curtailment would have went through? How much would have the guy in charge of the water department in Idaho made? How much is the head water guy getting from environmental lobbyist to curtail water in the name of saving the aquifer? Which state and local representatives were funded by Idaho power like Ben Fuhriman. Why did they choose one of the biggest water years in a long time to try to push the BS agenda? And why is Stephanie Michelson who’s son and husband are both presidents of canel companies have so much say in what is going on in south east Idaho water? Why has she been the main negotiator with the twin falls canel company and what has she accomplished in the years she was supposed to be doing this job? Why does Idaho power and the twin falls canel companie have the same lawyer and how much does the twin falls canel company get from Idaho power to push the same agenda? And if our aquifer is as big as Lake Erie why are they so worried about it right now? And if the water curtailment worked and the farmers had to sell who was the buyer of the land going to be? Why are our local and state politicians supporting Idaho power when the parent company is owned by vanguard and blackrock. There comes. Point when coincidence can not longer be ignored. These are just a few of the questions that should be asked that on one is answering.
Can I ask - is this an attempt by Idaho DWR to regulate out-of-priority groundwater usage? That's what is sounds like. It's exactly what is done in Colorado and has been done for a half century. I am the engineer for well users in SE Colorado and we operate under very tight rules so as not to injure surface water rights and Kansas under the Arkansas River Compact.
@@steven4315 Yeah I don't think anyone commenting about this knows what's happening. There's a lot of rhetoric about it, but the facts as I hear them tell me that groundwater users in this area in Idaho are ignoring their wells' impacts to surface water diverters, which do happen and which have to be regulated under the Prior Appropriation system.
@@steven4315 That may be true, but that only means that unlike many other parts of the West (Colorado, New Mexico, etc), AZ isn't administering groundwater strictly under prior appropriation, and probably should be. But this is America, and we don't ever do anything until the situation reaches crisis-level which frankly sounds like this Idaho issue.

The same thing is happening in California only worse. They estimate up to a million acres of farmland could come out of production here. I farm 200 acres with contract water yet I am only receiving 40% of my contracted amount. Lake Oroville , the source of our water is full and has overflowed the spillway this year. The Government seems to always find a excuse to let more water than is necessary flow into the Pacific Ocean.
Let me give some insight from a guy who has lived in Southern California my whole life (61 years). My opinion is that this is about future real estate development for population growth which will bring in additional tax revenues as well. Idaho is a great State unlike California which used to be great but is now a disaster. A lot of people have already moved to Idaho and many more plan to move to Idaho. The State has to do long term planning, 20-30 years out. I think this is part of that planning. There was a lot of farm land in Southern California and they eventually sold out to real estate developers because the children did not want the farms and did see a lot of money for the land. I am not saying this is wrong or right, it is just part of what happens when progress shows up. We saw it happen here in the 1970's and 1980's when everyone wanted to live in California. Just don't let the Democrats get power or it is over. I have family in Idaho Falls that I visited in 2020 and 2022. I can see progress knocking on your door. Best wishes to all of you.
UPDATE June 19, 2024: Water Curtailment Order lifted (Idaho Press) Groundwater irrigators and surface water irrigators have completed a deal that saves 330,000 acres of Idaho farmland from being dried up and averts economic catastrophe in the state. A mitigation agreement for 2024, brokered by Governor Brad Little and Lt. Governor Scott Bedke, has now been signed by all parties and has been submitted to the Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR for approval. When the deal is approved, IDWR will lift the curtailment for all nine ground water districts whose patrons irrigate with groundwater from the ESPA. “This is a huge relief to our members, who have had their livelihoods threatened over the past month,” said TJ Budge, attorney for Idaho Ground Water Appropriators. “We want to thank Governor Little, Lt. Governor Bedke, Senator Van Burtenshaw and, especially, all of our groundwater district members for their sincere and significant efforts to get a deal done before it was too late.”
This is just giving us water to complete the current growing season. Nothing has changed but that we have more time. The same people are in the room to negotiate as have been working on this since January and before.

They may be _pretending_ they own the water rights, but SCOTUS just passed down a ruling about the alphabet agencies that should substantially change things on that front.
This is a situation where they're calling for groundwater to be turned off, I believe, not surface water. I don't understand how a _canal_ company can order that to be done. My understanding, per the Idaho Condition, is that if a person owns their land, they also own any water on their ground or below their ground.
A real BIG DEAL. The cascade affect to related/connect industries to farming could be catastrophic. My guess is someone with a book degree(not using their brain) had a brain f*** of an idea, to come up with this water curtailment

They are north west, but it doesn't matter. We are apart of the Palouse water Adjudication and they had all domestic wells file with the courts for water rights. Guess who filed it....Twin Falls Canal. This is all about the feds. The Cobalt mine has been trying to get running for about 30 yrs. and the Feds kept shutting them down. Now all of a sudden, they are given 15 miilion out of the Ukraine DOD funding.
Why is it the east Idaho farmers have never once spoken the truth about what caused the threatened water curtailment in the first place? Why don’t you address the fact that there was a water use agreement signed in 2015 and instead of honoring that agreement east Idaho farmers ignored it year after year and continued to take and use water they weren’t entitled to?!?!

Because they prefer to control than be controlled...it is really that simple. And they won't stop as they want to reduce the population through any means they are capable of making happen.
It’s bad for us all. I don’t live there but I know we need farmers and we don’t need government.
Yes it is a bad deal. It will affect many people. We are asking everyone concerned to contact the Governor's office to let them know we need a long-term water management plan. 208-334-2100

Thank you! You took the words right out of me as I live in NM. Our water storage Facility in Northern NM called El Vado lake was going to be made larger for more water storage. Work done by The Army Corps of Engineers. So, they decided 2 years ago it would be better with our modern day technologies to just rebuild the Dam and make it to hold more water, now, who scraped those plans indefinitely? I am a Senior Water Right user from the Rio Grande River. A hobby vegetable disabled farmer that only still has to use a shovel. As I have no tractor. Food stamp farmer at that. After processing the food for our own winter needs, I take my excess to a local foodbank and donate it. I don't do Grower's markets. My last irrigation was 06/15/24. The extreme heat has killed the last 3 years. Potted plants and seed are expensive. I grow using Organic methods. The last 3 years our water has been stopped. Last year we got cut off and my last cut of Alfalfa died. I used to get 4 cuts a year, Last year I got 1 and a half. Also donated. The person who cuts, rakes, and bales it, gets to keep it. The Indians always get the water no matter what, Senior users get it 2nd if there is enough. The Water Bank are 3rd users have not had water in 3 years.

@@oneatatime8677 Thank you for asking. It's only 2.5 acres. I have been on SSD for 12 years; my wife is a breast cancer survivor. For the last 4.5 years she has been getting 3 needles a day for 7 days then 3 weeks off for blood cancer. Also known as Leukemia. The chemotherapy drug when I looked it up online destroys Bone Marrow, so we can't understand how a bone marrow transplant will save her. We are both ready to leave this Expletive Earth.

@@americafirst9144 Thank you for the kind comment. My single mother raised 2 boys from different dads. She raised us like her family was raised during the Great Depression of the 1920's in the Panhandle of Texas. If we got a Christmas Card with a 5 dollar bill, we were happy. We didn't get toys like the neighbor kids got. Birthdays the same. My mother taught me at the age of 12 how to plant vegetable seeds, water them then can them for Winter. There were local farms in our NM city that sold produce (today the land is a Walmart Store). We could buy a 20 pound box of Tomatoes for 5 bucks then go back home and she showed us kids how to can tomatoes, Mason Jars, caps and lids, water bath. dash of salt in each jar. Sure, miss that today. She taught how to make jams, jellies, syrup from fruit, We canned our winter food supply. Not many people do that today because those farms became subdivisions. In High School in the mid Seventies, I had a classmate whose family planted a garden in their front yard instead of grass and their dad raised rabbits in the back yard. That rabbit pelleted manure is the best fertilizer too.

And processes for maintaining water and distributing water. But they haven't for a very long time. That farmer said it would help a lot and finding a solution.

The long term solution is to stop sending water to California and Oregon and recharge the aquifer.
You ever hear of the Columbia River? That water is sent from Oregon to California. What are you talking about?
@@americafirst9144 I’m talking about storing the water rather than releasing it in to the river. We drain our dams way too early. I’m obviously not talking about natural water flows since this topic is about irrigation.
I read something about mines there that use more water than farmers, but you wonder who has stocks or interests in the mines. Lots or reasons for corruption. This agency should be sued. It probably is an unelected bureaucrat trying for kickbacks.
That’s great news! Hopefully y’all make sure this scare doesn’t happen again. Sending our love and positive thoughts your way!

You want civil war?……..no food to your grocery story!!!!!!!
Check for big projects that demand water. They may be industrial, mining, or environmental. I had a friend who lived in Oregon who lost their land because of an environmental project. Make sure that you know who you are dealing with. If it is just the present players on the table, yu can probably find a solution.
Water is so important to everyone. I am sorry to hear of your friends experience. We are hopeful we can have a long-term plan before the new year.
I read they are using the Ukrainian funds for a cobalt mine in Idaho for a Australian company named Jervois that needs water. Maybe it's the real reason for the curtailment?
I read that too. Cobalt mining uses a ridiculous amount of water and leaves the environment toxic at the end.
Praying the farmers and folks up there keep pushing back until the gov't backs the heck off. This is the same garbage that is plaguing the EU farmers.
This water management debate has been going on since before 2009. We have always come to something workable until this year.

Additionally, I would read up on our country's foundational principles and why we were a constitutional republic. In short it was so we had a true representative government with limited government powers and individual rights. In your families case this would be the difference from a leftist state or administration calling the shots (cobalt, EVs, mining) vs the farmer having rights (food, families, the people, WATER).

Who was there first the farms or the golf courses? 🙄
@tobagobum If there is truly a shortage, EVERYONE should do their part, not just the farmers in southeast Idaho. You would think the Twin Falls area would require people in that area to also be more conservative with their water if there was truly a shortage.
Mormons love their golf courses...
@gundriver6439 the Temples don't need a bunch of green grass either.
Im a Patron of Central Oregon Irrigation District and all 7 districts are Piping Canals because we are losing 50% of the water truned into the canals . Twin Falls Canal needs to be Piped so they can leave back 3-400000 acre feet of water in the wetlands . This would also create pressurized irrigation so NO Electric power for pumps Think of that cost savings

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. Takes a lot water to mine and process cobalt.
They are most definitely are investing money in the cobalt mine, worried about the cobalt being shut off from other countries.

I hear they're building a cobalt plant in the state and it will require massive amounts of water. True ?
We really need to stand with our farmers and protect the rights of the landowners who are feeding us and our families
As a Utahn, this is interesting.
All of the surface water is managed by the government here. We couldn’t even (legally) collect rainwater without permits until just a few years ago, and it’s only up to 100 gallons that you don’t need a permit for now.
I know that Idaho has had much more lenient water usage rules, and I know Idahoans who leave their sprinklers running for an entire day just because they can.
Sounds like that era is coming to a close.
Utah = The state where all the mormon ranchers grow predominately alfalfa which is a water intensive crop in the 2nd driest state in the nation...
Cutting in line older water dates are first.
Does this have any thing to do with the Cobalt mine near you?
Alright, I looked into this. The mine is not in the same water shed. Lemhi county Idaho is near us. We sell some hay that direction. However, our curtailment is not related to the issues they are facing. I am concerned about this issue and need to do some more learning about it. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
That is the only reason, the billions of dollars that was given to Ukraine was actually rerouted to Cobalt Mines in Idaho and they want the water and the property to expand mining.
Please think total Idaho. What they do to you effects us all! 🤔
This is one reason we all need to get involved and ask the right questions to make sure that the farmers have the water resources they need. Please contact your local politicians and ask them these questions ask the questions that really need to be asked and call you local and state reps with the questions. Which state and local reps have shares in Idaho Power and how much would they have made if the curtailment would have went through? How much would have the guy in charge of the water department in Idaho made? How much is the head water guy getting from environmental lobbyist to curtail water in the name of saving the aquifer? Which state and local representatives were funded by Idaho power like Ben Fuhriman. Why did they choose one of the biggest water years in a long time to try to push the BS agenda? And why is Stephanie Michelson who’s son and husband are both presidents of canel companies have so much say in what is going on in south east Idaho water? Why has she been the main negotiator with the twin falls canel company and what has she accomplished in the years she was supposed to be doing this job? Why does Idaho power and the twin falls canel companie have the same lawyer and how much does the twin falls canel company get from Idaho power to push the same agenda? And if our aquifer is as big as Lake Erie why are they so worried about it right now? And if the water curtailment worked and the farmers had to sell who was the buyer of the land going to be? Why are our local and state politicians supporting Idaho power when the parent company is owned by vanguard and blackrock. There comes. Point when coincidence can not longer be ignored. These are just a few of the questions that should be asked that on one is answering.
Thank you to everyone that got in there and you started yelling at Idaho for their no Farming and I say thank you Lord for lifting that band

Can I ask - is this an attempt by Idaho DWR to regulate out-of-priority groundwater usage? That's what is sounds like. It's exactly what is done in Colorado and has been done for a half century. I am the engineer for well users in SE Colorado and we operate under very tight rules so as not to injure surface water rights and Kansas under the Arkansas River Compact.
Nice to hear a comment from someone who sounds like they know something about the subject.
@@steven4315 Yeah I don't think anyone commenting about this knows what's happening. There's a lot of rhetoric about it, but the facts as I hear them tell me that groundwater users in this area in Idaho are ignoring their wells' impacts to surface water diverters, which do happen and which have to be regulated under the Prior Appropriation system.
@@anonosaurus4517 It is my understanding that in large parts of Arizona pumping ground water is unregulated.
@@steven4315 That may be true, but that only means that unlike many other parts of the West (Colorado, New Mexico, etc), AZ isn't administering groundwater strictly under prior appropriation, and probably should be. But this is America, and we don't ever do anything until the situation reaches crisis-level which frankly sounds like this Idaho issue.

Hmmmm….wouldn’t have anything to do with the cobalt mine, or meta building a facility there would it?
I'm curious what the different types of crops are grown in your area. Theres seems to be some crazy war against farmers, and ranchers all over the world, and this really seems to be an extension of that with this.

We are within our water right. If we follow the current agreement we will not be able to farm. The state issued the water right. Then over time they have lowered that. To the point that now they are asking us to no longer water our land. This is not acceptable for us or our states economy. The issue is not resolved.

The same thing is happening in California only worse. They estimate up to a million acres of farmland could come out of production here. I farm 200 acres with contract water yet I am only receiving 40% of my contracted amount. Lake Oroville , the source of our water is full and has overflowed the spillway this year.

Let me give some insight from a guy who has lived in Southern California my whole life (61 years). My opinion is that this is about future real estate development for population growth which will bring in additional tax revenues as well. Idaho is a great State unlike California which used to be great but is now a disaster. A lot of people have already moved to Idaho and many more plan to move to Idaho. The State has to do long term planning, 20-30 years out. I think this is part of that planning.
There was a lot of farm land in Southern California and they eventually sold out to real estate developers because the children did not want the farms and did see a lot of money for the land. I am not saying this is wrong or right, it is just part of what happens when progress shows up.
We saw it happen here in the 1970's and 1980's when everyone wanted to live in California. Just don't let the Democrats get power or it is over. I have family in Idaho Falls that I visited in 2020 and 2022. I can see progress knocking on your door. Best wishes to all of you.

UPDATE June 19, 2024: Water Curtailment Order lifted (Idaho Press)
Groundwater irrigators and surface water irrigators have completed a deal that saves 330,000 acres of Idaho farmland from being dried up and averts economic catastrophe in the state.
A mitigation agreement for 2024, brokered by Governor Brad Little and Lt. Governor Scott Bedke, has now been signed by all parties and has been submitted to the Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR for approval. When the deal is approved, IDWR will lift the curtailment for all nine ground water districts whose patrons irrigate with groundwater from the ESPA.
“This is a huge relief to our members, who have had their livelihoods threatened over the past month,” said TJ Budge, attorney for Idaho Ground Water Appropriators. “We want to thank Governor Little, Lt. Governor Bedke, Senator Van Burtenshaw and, especially, all of our groundwater district members for their sincere and significant efforts to get a deal done before it was too late.”
This is just giving us water to complete the current growing season. Nothing has changed but that we have more time. The same people are in the room to negotiate as have been working on this since January and before.

They may be _pretending_ they own the water rights, but SCOTUS just passed down a ruling about the alphabet agencies that should substantially change things on that front.
One suggestion… look into drilling for your own water!
This is a situation where they're calling for groundwater to be turned off, I believe, not surface water.
I don't understand how a _canal_ company can order that to be done. My understanding, per the Idaho Condition, is that if a person owns their land, they also own any water on their ground or below their ground.

They are north west, but it doesn't matter. We are apart of the Palouse water Adjudication and they had all domestic wells file with the courts for water rights.

Now all of a sudden, they are given 15 miilion out of the Ukraine DOD funding.
Why is it the east Idaho farmers have never once spoken the truth about what caused the threatened water curtailment in the first place? Why don’t you address the fact that there was a water use agreement signed in 2015 and instead of honoring that agreement east Idaho farmers ignored it year after year and continued to take and use water they weren’t entitled to?!?!
