And we did that.
We went to the NRCS, and we spent a
lot of time working with them and the division on
the calculations of using so many shares of the
ditch water that was available, what could then be
irrigated on each one of those parcels. And that
was what was presented in PR 6.
Now, since February '08 the Morgan

property had to go back as cropland, and one of the
delays in PR 6 was we only had 50 shares of water in
the lease with the Morgans. And the NRCS said that
wasn't sufficient to fully reclaim their property to
prime farmland and cropland.
The Morgans disagreed with that and
said that is enough water, and we ended up working
