Original Note:
Idaho is not trying to put farmers out of business. In Idaho, water issues are governed by what is called the doctrine of prior appropriation, where older senior water rights have priority over the newer junior water rights when there isn’t enough water to go around. https://legislature.idaho.gov/statutesrules/idstat/title42/
