<br /> <br />The irrigated pasture mix includes: <br />31% orchard grass <br />32% intermediate wheat grass <br />37Y smooth broam <br />n <br />u <br />The reclaimed areas include: (Q) 2.3 acres reclaimed in 1974 using <br /> <br />• <br />the dryland mix; (R) 3.7 acres reclaimed in 1975 using dryland mix; <br />(S) 2.5 acres reclaimed in 1976 using dryland mix; (T) 3.5 acres reclaimed <br />in 1974 using dryland mix; (U) 1.7 acres reclaimed in 1975 using dryland <br />mix; (V) 12.6 acres reclaimed in 1973 using dryland mix; (W) 9.4 acres <br />reclaimed in 1977 using one-third dryland mix and two-thirds irrigated <br />pasture mix; (X) 6.3 acres reclaimed in 1978 using one-third dryland mix <br />and two-thirds irrigated mix; (Y) 11.5 acres on east side of property <br />reclaimed prior to 1973 using dryland mix; (Z) 9.2 acres reclaimed in 1973 <br />using dryland pasture mix; (a) 12.3 acres reclaimed in 1977 using one-half <br />dryland mix and one-half irrigated mix, (b) 4.8 acres reclaimed in 1975 <br />using irrigated mix. The area (X), 6.3 acres, is the only area reclaimed <br />during the reporting period 6-78 to 6-79. All total, there are 79.8 acres <br />that have been reclaimed. These areas were seeded at a rate of approxi- <br />mately 50 pounds per acre and fertilized at the time of planting with <br />industrial ammonium nitrate applied at a rate of approximately 200 pounds <br />per acre. At present, all areas are experiencing excellent growth with <br />haying being done in area (W). We plan to fertilize areas (X) and (W) in <br />1980 with a commercial fertilizer consisting of 18% nitrogen, 46Y diammonium <br />phosphate, and 1°6 iron. None of the reclaimed areas have been released from <br />bond as of this date. As of this date, our reclamation program has been <br />a complete success. <br />3 <br />
