<br />The esti.:nated economic value of the Hail Suppression Component of the cloud seeding activities <br />for all crops in the six county target area is approximately $60,000,000 for the 1979-1993 time <br />period and represents a 37 to 1 cost benefit ratio. It should be noted that the above estimate of <br />economic value is an underestimate, since it does not include hail-damage savings for dwellings <br />or personal property. Also, the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks did not have any <br />estimate of annual wildlife losses due to hail in the target area. Hence, it was not possible to <br />enumerate the wildlife benefits that have resulted from the cloud seeding activities in the target <br />area from 1979-1993. <br /> <br />'. <br /> <br />17 <br />
