    Irrigation mitigates only one production risk. If it's the only risk the investment might be a good one. Other risks like frost, hail, early winter remain. Market risks are not affected. If soil condition and chemistry are agreeable, alternative crops could be possible.

      Maybe global warming will allow cherries and peaches. Its freezing them out in BC.

        So the "free market" Sask Party wants to pick winners and losers with taxpayers dollars?

        Would any business make this scale investment based on no feasibility study or business plan? Nope.

        If spending $1.4 billion is such a good idea show us the numbers.

        Then we can decide if its a good investment before they start work and spending more taxpayers money.

          There is no example of a “free market” left anywhere. People like you have wanted government involved in everyday lives of all segments. Congradulations.

            Saskparty believes in taxing the poor and giving to the rich.

              You just succinctly described using a CO2 tax to subsidize electric vehicle purchasers.

                ...subsidize electric vehicle purchasers that have $200k annual income.

                  And the oil companies and well off farmers are still getting a lot of handouts and subsidies from taxpayers!

                    Nothing left but well off farmers compared to the rest of the population.

                    In other news consumers subsidize union wage rates with another strike and %100 tariff on Chinese EVs.

                      And supply managed farmers are benefiting from steep import tarrifs and cost of production calculations in their supply managed sectors which all consumers pay for.

                      And Poilievre and the CPC still support supply management and state intervention?

                        We all know why supply management exists.
                        Like unions they've become too powerful.

                          Turdo just phucked EV's...unaffordable... but we MUST pay triple China's prices to keep Ontario auto industry rolling in dough. But our grain MUST sell at prices equal to lowest cost on earth!

                            Poilievre and the CPC are in favour of unions now because he wants their member's votes and supports collective bargaining.

                            Apparently Poilivere doesn't think unions have too much power! ?

                            And the CPC are in favour of supply management as well which goes against his small government message.

                            Poilievre, all attack dog and no substance! And he hates journalists who ask hard questions!
