During this TR application, I did not modify any portion of the text in question (live <br />vegetation vs total cover). If the regulations so stated that vegetation cover should <br />be based upon "live vegetation", then I will make the necessary change in the permit. <br />8. No response is necessary per your July 31, 1998 letter <br />9. The Divisions concern about Mr. Zene Weimer s age. Mr Zene Weimer is in his early <br />to mid 50's and is a second generation farmer in this area . I know he stated a higher <br />number of years (90) in his written experience. I asked him about this at the time he <br />handed me the form and he said he had discussed the production figures with his <br />elderly father and they agreed upon the tons/acre for first cutting only. I can <br />understand the Divisions question, but I think it is fair to be able to combine their <br />years of experience. There are fewer and fewer farms in this country that are being <br />run by second, third or fourth generation families and there should be some respect <br />given to these operations. They must be doing something right. <br />This concludes this memo and I hope I have adequately answered your questions.
