@SKGov @PremierScottMoe The days of irrigation excuses should be long over. @PremierScottMoe needs to get some priorities figured out.

@SKGov @PremierScottMoe Why does it need further investigation irrigation from the S Sask river is far from new and there are 100’s of pivots already tied into the water shed system

@QuickDickMcDick @SKGov @PremierScottMoe No - the administrative state exists to stop people from succeeding, and it's not obvious the government is much different in many cases.

@SKGov @PremierScottMoe For someone that pumps over 16km to irrigate, I would pay for that personally.

@SKGov @PremierScottMoe The plan IS for the farm to pay for it personally on his own deeded land. That's the frustration for this family.

@QuickDickMcDick @SKGov @PremierScottMoe sorta FEEL like no Ponds or Sloughs should of been drained for the past 50yrs on Farmlands ,,,, dropping Water tables every where it happened, Haying in JULY AUG would of been a wiser choice Ponds were Precious <3 naybe huh, like raindrops attract like water

@QuickDickMcDick @SKGov @PremierScottMoe As irrigators for over 40 years, these water projects look great. But some of the economics and feasibility of making these projects work will bankrupt the producer. River water availability, levels, and lift are problematic.

@QuickDickMcDick @SKGov @PremierScottMoe We will eat bugs, own nothing, and be happy (under penalty of law).

@SKGov @PremierScottMoe Is it a private system. They really make it difficult for private systems and considerably less funding. So they are picking winners and losers.

@SKGov @PremierScottMoe Doesn't make sense to me what environmental impact would pipe have on those hills up from the river? Who needs irrigation in SW Saskatchewan anyways? 🤔
