Irrigation Land Boom Expands With New Crop Share Deals
Canada Land and Irrigation Co expands its irrigation scheme with 10,000 acres taken since last year. About fifty new families have settled, with additional acreage bought by existing tenants. The company offers a 20 percent down payment option and 25 yearly instalments, plus a Crop Share Agreement waiving down payments for buyers with sufficient stock and machinery. Wheat yields on irrigated lands exceed dry farming averages in recent years, indicating strong potential as the project scales up with more settlers and a 12,000 acre expansion of the lateral system.
