Production of crops, such as pasture and hay which normally are <br />consumed on the farm by livestock, shall be converted to cash market values and <br />included with crop sales. <br /> <br />Irrigable Acreage for Service. - The acreage classified as irrigable for which <br />works have been constructed and water is available. This figure may change from <br />year to year, generally upward, as project works are completed and service is <br />made available to additional acreage. Upon completion of the project, the <br />irrigable acreage for service will equal the irrigable land as presented in the <br />repayment contract or most recent project authorization. <br /> <br />Irrigable land. - Arable land under a specific plan for which a water supply is <br />or can be made available and which is provided with or planned to be provided <br />with irrigation, drainage, flood protection, and other facilities as necessary <br />for sustained irrigation. The plan to provide irrigation service to the area <br />must be technically feasible from an engineering standpoint and meet the <br />justification requirements of the Water Resources Council's Principles and <br />Standards for Water and Related land Resources pl anning as adopted by the <br />Department of the Interior for Reclamation projects. The irrigable area <br />comprises that portion of the arable area provided with, or to be provided with, <br />a water supply and necessary drainage facilities under ultimate development of <br />the project or unit under consideration. <br /> <br />Irrigated Acreage. - The irrigable acreage actually irrigated in anyone year. <br />It will include irrigated crop land harvested, irrigated pasture, crop land <br />pl anted but not harvested, and acreage in irrigated rotation used for soil- <br />buildi ng crops. <br /> <br />8 <br />
