Yeah, here it comes - $10 a pound potatoes. Then, you will be on your own to grow your own.

For those in other states, the price of potatoes will go up and add to inflation.

Ah swell, a Great Potato Famine right here in the USA!

Revelations 6:5-7

5: And when the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” Then I looked and saw a black horse, and its rider held in his hand a pair of scales.

6: Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

8: I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth

The ski resorts and golf courses will still get all they want.

nb. This is why I declined an invitation to move to Idaho when I retired. They fight blood feuds over water, and the rich Californians always win. I chose Ohio, where water is a nuisance that farmers pay good money to get rid of so the crops won’t drown.

Already happening in California with farmers fighting the state for water.

I wonder if it’s to force the farmers to sell the land for pennies on the dollar - to the state, corporations, etc.

Step 1: Find out who is pulling the puppet strings. What Chinese/Wall St/Mega Corporation is behind this? Whether it be to take over the farms or get them so they can build massive developments.

The purpose is the same as the lockdowns — to kill off the non-commie trash businesses. Stores then and now farms will be seized by state and sold off to “investors” who provide kickbacks to the politicos in charge of this crappola.

The proper word is evil. Some people just love to create destruction. They seldom say so and hide behind govt positions. Weaver is one.

There is currently enough water to go around but there is a problem with the aquifer being historically low. This appears to be about the Twin Falls Canal Company and their senior rights wanting to starve out the upstream farmers to pay them for water that the canal company is not currently using but that the upstream farmers are. Most likely this is about greed and not a shortage of water. There is no actual shortage right now but an allocation deficit. There may be a shortage in the future.

An interesting fact, a huge chunk of the water "used" for crop irrigation in Idaho goes right back into the Snake River via the aquifer. The soil is so porous water does not stay exposed long enough to evaporate. Porous soil grows good potatoes. Same as in my garden but I have to water it all the time.

The subject is a complex accounting applied to water measurement but a lot of liberty seems to be being taken with some of the numbers creating a crisis.
