CLHbid.com will be selling the rights to irrigate 172 acres in the St. Mary River Irrigation District (SMRID). Eligible landowners will have an opportunity to bid through CLHbid.com’s transparent online tender platform where they will never have to worry about overpaying as the next interested party was only one click behind. This is not a land sale; this is a rare opportunity to expand your irrigated footprint in one of Alberta’s most productive farming regions.
One of the reasons southern Alberta’s Highway 3 corridor is amongst the most diverse agricultural regions in the country is due to irrigation. While Alberta has approximately 21 million acres of cultivated farmland, only 4% is irrigated - yet those few irrigated acres contribute nearly 30% of the province’s total agricultural GDP.
In Alberta, irrigated land can generate four to eight times more revenue per acre than dryland: the impact of irrigation on a farm’s bottom line is clear. There is no better input than water; no matter how much fertilizer you apply or how carefully you manage your crop, it is all at risk without moisture. Irrigation does not just improve yields, it unlocks the ability to grow unique crops, secure premium contracts, stabilize cash flow, and reduce the uncertainty that comes with relying on rainfall alone.
These 172 irrigation acres are not restricted to a specific parcel and may be transferred anywhere within the SMRID, making this opportunity accessible to a wide range of producers across southern Alberta. Whether you’re maximizing existing acres or planning for the next generation, water rights are a strategic asset that put you in control of your productivity.
The team at CLHbid.com understands the importance of giving buyers confidence in the integrity of the sale process. Unlike blind tenders to law firms or fixed list prices, CLHbid.com offers true price discovery through its escalating tender platform, ensuring buyers never pay over market value. Bidders are given full transparency and the unlimited opportunity to bid back, creating a level playing field for all.
Interested parties are asked to review the Summary Sheet and complete their due diligence with SMRID prior to August 14. For inquiries, please contact CLHbid.com or reach out directly to SMRID.
