<br />Alternative Agricultural Transfers Technical Roundtable Meeting #1 <br />Meeting Summary <br /> <br />Technical Questions <br />1. Are there suitable irrigated lands (yield and water quality)? If not, how do the <br />r-:\ infrastructure costs of a permanent dry-up transfer? <br />~ - How does geography (e.g., stateline vs. upstream water right) affect alternatives? <br /> <br />Blue <br />3 <br /> <br />Red <br />8 <br /> <br />Yellow <br />3 <br /> <br />Green <br />3 <br /> <br />Orange <br />1 <br /> <br />2. What crops are potentially suitable for fallowing or for reduced irrigation? <br /> <br />Blue <br /> <br />Red <br /> <br />Yellow <br /> <br />Green <br />1 <br /> <br />Orange <br /> <br />(Questions 1 & 2 should be combined) <br /> <br />3. What is the physical availability of yield in dry years and is additional storage required to <br />provide for non-irrigation season return flows and yields? <br /> <br />Blue <br />1 <br /> <br />Red <br />2 <br /> <br />Yellow <br />1 <br /> <br />Green <br /> <br />Orange <br />1 <br /> <br />4. What are the soil and weed management issues and what is the cost to adequately manage <br />these issues? <br />Will fallowing affect a producer's ability to comply with Highly Erodible Land <br />provisions of the 1985 Food Security Act? <br /> <br />Blue <br /> <br />Red <br />1 <br /> <br />Yellow <br /> <br />Green <br /> <br />Orange <br /> <br />5. When fallowing irrigated lands within a ditch system, is there a general percentage of a <br />system that can be assumed as a practical maximum limit or is it ditch-specific? What are <br />the associated issues? <br /> <br />Blue <br />1 <br /> <br />Red <br />1 <br /> <br />Yellow <br />1 <br /> <br />Green <br />1 <br /> <br />Orange <br /> <br />6. Is it more advantageous to rotate fallowing within a single ditch system or across multiple <br />ditch systems? <br /> <br />Blue <br /> <br />Red <br />1 <br /> <br />Yellow <br /> <br />Green <br />1 <br /> <br />Orange <br /> <br />(Questions 6 & 7 should be combined.) <br /> <br />CDIVI <br /> <br />11 <br /> <br />S:\SWSI 2\Meetings\Technical Roundtable\TRT Meeting - Specific\Alternative Ag Transfers\summary\Alt Ag Tran TRT #1 Summary final.doc <br />
