Cheap water and surplus crops fuel irrigation subsidies
The Garrison Diversion Project will deliver irrigation water at about 40 dollars per acre to roughly 400 North Dakota farmers, a cost to the government of about 760 dollars per acre. Wheat and corn will be grown to absorb surplus, while Congress also pays to reduce production. The study notes high government costs, with water subsidies averaging 54 dollars per acre in 1986 and large subsidies across 10 million irrigated acres in 17 western states, raising concerns about corporate ownership and double subsidies, as lawmakers debate reform.
