<br />--'''.J <br /> <br />000502 <br />At a cost of about $5 per pound and using one pound per irrigated acre per application, <br />PAM does not COST, it PAYS! On com, with two applications irrigating every other row, the <br />total cost would be $5 per acre, With an average increase of 6 bushels at $2 per bushel, PAM <br /> <br />gave a good return on the investment and that is not even considering the benefit of reducing the <br /> <br />loss of topsoiL On the onions using 6 applications at $5 per acre, the total cost would be $30 per <br /> <br />acre, With just a 1300 pound increase, the increased gross return at $8 per 50 pound bag would <br /> <br />be $208 which would more than cover the cost ofthe PAM, again giving a good return on the <br /> <br />investment. <br /> <br />PAM has also been used to reduce seepage in dirt ditches, Work done with ditch models <br /> <br />reduced seepage as much as 60% by adding PAM and a soil mix, And PAM added to water in a <br /> <br />dirt lateral ditch by Jim Valliant, Colorado State University Cooperative Extension on a BaR <br /> <br />grant project, substantially reduced water levels in nearby observation wells as compared to the <br /> <br />well in the untreated area, Since PAM is a ultra potent flocculent, the sediment content of the <br /> <br />ditch water was reduced as much as 67%, which partially sealed the ditch, As a result, ditch <br /> <br />seepage was reduced from 0,65 to 0.36 gpm/ft of ditch, Four applications of 10 pounds made the <br /> <br /> <br />total cost to reduce seepage by 45% on 450 feet of ditch only $200, <br /> <br /> <br />PAM, made from natural gas, is broken down to carbon and hydrogen by sun and salt and <br /> <br /> <br />ties up with sediment making it environmentally friendly, <br /> <br />Let's see, it reduces erosion which removes productive top soil that fill rivers and <br /> <br />reservoirs, it increases infiltration, it increases yields, it helps when irrigating with high <br /> <br />crop residue, it reduces seepage from dirt ditches, it is very economical and <br /> <br />environmentally friendly. <br />PAM must be a -------SUPER STAR!!!!!!!!!! <br /> <br />P AMNR699 <br />
