[QUOTE="Migrator Man, post: 261753, member: 2369"] [url]https://www.inforum.com/sports/outdoors/1354724-McFeely-Devils-Lake-guide-wages-lonely-fight-to-keep-water-level-high[/url] I really do feel for the farmers whose land has been flooded because of the actions of upstream draining, but the dollars flowing into Devils Lake is so much bigger than the loss of farming the flooded land. Devils Lake was a boring small town with nothing to offer until the fishing picked up in the region. Now the small community has many big town amenities that are there for one reason and that is the fishing/tourism industry. There is world class fishing in Devils Lake and the surrounding bodies of water. What could be a solution for this problem? Offer to pay the people for the land they lost to the flood and turn the pumps off. They don’t have to sell out but they can if they want to end the issue. The region can afford to lose this tourism industry. The region does not need to be farming anymore land to subsidize growing soybeans to feed China. [/QUOTE]
