<br />It is estimated that lands classified as follows by the appraisers of <br /> <br /> <br />Land Available for Resettlement <br /> <br />the Farm Seourity Administration will be available for aoquisition for <br /> <br />purposes of farm unit readjustment within, and resettlement into. the <br /> <br />proposed project area: <br /> <br />~.451 acres, class 1 & 2, arable irrigable. @ $4.50 per acre <br />1,200 acres, class 1 & 2, now irrigated, @ $40.00~r acre <br />1,800 acres. irrigable class 1 & 2 under ditch but not irri- <br />I'.. gated <br />15.349 acres grazing (dry lands, brush lands. etc.) @l $1.50 <br />27,890 acres <br /> <br />$ 42.531 <br />48,000 <br /> <br />18.000 <br />23.023 <br />131,554 <br /> <br />There are also roughly upwards of 4,000 acres just above or outside of <br /> <br />the distribution system but which have been considered part of the pro- <br /> <br />posed project area for purposes of land acquisition and the acre adjust- <br /> <br />ment of farm units. This land is comparable to the grazing lands shown <br /> <br />as the 4th item in the above classification. These are for the most part <br /> <br />under small ownerships that are partly in and partly outside of the pro- <br /> <br />jest area. Some is arable dry land, llome is suitable for dry pasture and <br /> <br />some is brush land or rock and brush land, suita.ble for limited grallimg. <br /> <br />As regards the grazing lan{ls both under and 0uhide of the distribution <br /> <br />system, probably not all will need to be purchalled. In most oases, how- <br /> <br />ever. ths"grazing lands are part of ownership units. usually of not more <br /> <br />than 400 acres each and most owners will not want to sell their arable <br /> <br />lands and retain grazing lands which then. because of their small a.reas <br /> <br />and isolated locations, would be valueless to them. These lands would be <br /> <br />of some value to the farmer on adjoining irrigated land and of little use <br /> <br /> <br />to any other. Even on the roughest areas where the boulders are largest <br /> <br />(sometimes as big as a house) and the grazing is poorellt the land is of <br />
