Landowners and agriculture producers are up in arms over a state policy that allowed the DNRC to claim water rights from landowners who utilize their private water on public land they are leasing from the state.

The Montana Land Board has taken some steps to intervene, but the case remains unsettled – which is an uncomfortable place for water law.

Pardon the obvious pun, but click on the podcast for a deep end dive into the issue with former 4-term state legislator Alan Redfield, a Paradise Valley producer whose legislation in 2019 was aimed at rectifying the issue.
