Who wants 60-70 acres of Petersons water?

What i dont understand why Canada hasnt brought a case before a federal judges in regards to all that runoff full of salt and chemicals. There was a reason back in the 60s why the federal government made this lease agreement in the first place is because farmers where draining every pot hole. The mauve coulee was dug out with big pull behind scrapers so deep a person could only see the stack from the tractor.

if hes planting where he knows water accumulates thats a risk hes taking. Farmers know their fields and where water tends to sit for a while after rains.

The problem is low spots that just puddle after a rain but dry up after a couple weeks. It's just enough to drowned out crops but isn't a wetland. Those are the spots ideal for tiling and productive farmland. If the FWS would work with these landowners instead of fighting them tooth and nail for every damn inch it would go a long way to improving relations. Tile would more then likely benefit those small wetland areas they are trying to protect.

Tile in any wetland will not benefit any area they are trying to protect. Think about it.
