Save d backs Shellmouth farmers in potholed dispute
Saskatchewan and Manitoba farmers clash over the Langenburg East Water Control Project to drain 22000 acres into the RM of Shellmouth. Saskatchewan supporters say drainage reduces soil salinity and boosts fertility, while Shellmouth farmers warn it would flood their lands and strain Lake of the Prairies dam gates. Opposition groups label the drive as part of a vocal minority resisting new ditches and taxes.
