Chart 6 displays the results from production sampling in 2015, and reveals that the Irrigated <br />Pasture Phase III Bond Release Block exceeds the reference area comparison with 2,030.4 pounds per <br />acre of desirable perennial production versus the 1,426.3 pounds per acre desirable perennial production <br />standard (90% of 1,909.4 times the Soil Adjustment Factor of 0.83). <br />Page 17 <br />
