There is much criteria to meet in the <br />prime farmland investigation to qualify for a prime <br />farmland status. Prime farmland must be cropland as it <br />was but all cropland is not prime farmland. Through the <br />investigation, Mel Staats explained the irrigation. The <br />CCC ditch which is supplied by the San Miguel River is <br />the irrigation means here. The property was not irrigated <br />with the CCC Ditch, it was irrigated with Calamity Draw. <br />Through the investigation Calamity Draw is not a <br />dependable source of water, not is it a dependable quality <br />of water. Sometimes it is two or three weeks before you <br />can even irrigate after irrigation in April has begun. <br />Other times there is not even enough water. Therefore, <br />Dean Stindt ruled that this area was not PRIME <br />FARMLAND because it did not have a dependable water <br />supply as required by 2.04.12 (2)(c).Only prune farmland <br />can be re -worked during the ten year bond period, which <br />there is NO prime farmland East of 2700 Road.

The first time bond release was applied for. <br />Ross Gubka had it permitted for the production rate of 4.5 <br />ton per acre first cutting which is the ONLY cutting the <br />State uses for records. This was irrigated <br />pasture/cropland, a definition that does not exist 1.04. <br />
