<br />L <br /> <br />To Whom it may Concern: <br /> <br />My nome is patrida Polson, I am a joint owner with '";r husband, <br /> <br /> <br />Duane Polson, ot 155 aores on Fruitland Mesa, ot which approx- <br /> <br /> <br />imatsly 100 aores are irrigable and 205 acree at Maher with <br /> <br />approximately 100 acres irricable. I have lived at our present <br /> <br />home on Fruitland Mesa tor more than 20 ;rears allot which we <br /> <br />have been engaged in tarming. I havs lived in the area since <br /> <br /> <br />my birth in 1936. <br /> <br /> <br />It is my contention that the proposed project will in no wa;r harm <br /> <br /> <br />ths grazing land or the natural. habitat tor the deer. .They can <br /> <br /> <br />only benetit trom the altalta tields which will be planted. <br /> <br /> <br />Within the past tew weeks we have watohed deer teeding Wi thin <br /> <br /> <br />DH 100 ya.rda or our house. As we moved about the ;rard and in <br /> <br /> <br />. turn called other memhers ot the t8m1l;r to see them, the;r remained <br /> <br /> <br />undisturbed.. OVer the .30 or more minutes that we'watohed them <br /> <br /> <br />they neverlett the tield. Severalot them even laid down and <br /> <br /> <br />the,. were s till there when We qui t wa tching them. 'l'hie morning <br /> <br /> <br />as I stood stmy sink I watched 5. deer work. their wa;racross'our <br /> <br /> <br />tieldto the south grazing. they went. ThiS atternoon.1 jumped <br /> <br /> <br />in my .car to run borrow _something trom. my neighbor. I again aa. <br /> <br /> <br />several deer. I counted 6 without stopping ths car. The;r were <br /> <br /> <br />in some oedars near a little gully running through'ourplace. <br /> <br /> <br />I have witnessed deer within a quarter ot a lIlile.trolD.liur house <br /> <br /> <br />during all seasons. <br /> <br />One 1D0rning duringhaying season last year my son and 1 drove <br /> <br /> <br />.through Bome cedar~ to another tield to tot the tractor and baler <br /> <br />'r <br />
