that was designed. The system was also designed OVERCONSERVATIVELY. Meaning, it is designed so that it looks very good on paper in case anything goes wrong. This all again, comes back to irrigation management and trial and error. The FARMER tries different nozzles, different sets, different sprinklers, etc, until the irrigation is done like it needs to be. Ross also said that they will provide 3 side rolls. We have already told Ross that we wanted 4 and we told all of you that day that we wanted 4 so we could turn 2 off and 2 on and keep things going all the time so as not to drown the Alfalfa. We also told Ross that WE ALREADY HAD THE ONE SIDE ROLL and we wanted to put it back on there. This was another fact he did not mention to anyone. As stated in numerous letters, we had offered another 12 shares of water to be used for the reclamation free and was refused. Ross has willfully and knowingly provided false information in all of the revision, to DRMS, as well as to NRCS. This type of misrepresenting facts does not allow other agencies that are involved to come to a RIGHT decision. WFC should by law, be trying to put as much of the agricultural property back to the condition it was, even if it means leasing more water, or providing irrigation by other means as THEY SAY THEY ARE ALREADY DOING WITH THE PONDS. Since they already have conditional water rights, and say they are irrigating with that water, there's even more water there. The CC Ditch is a dependable source of water and the water is there to be used, more if they need it, so there should not be all of these discussions. We are the irrigators and we are the farmers, so all of these facts about not being able to hire someone to do the job or not having them there to change the side rolls twice a day is willfully and knowingl�LIE! Ross knows that we have NEVER used the size of nozzle that is in the design. Ross knows that because of the trash in the system that these nozzles will plug and the SMALLEST nozzle we have ever used is 3/16 and most of the time we use the 1 /4inch. These are FACTS that Ross has also misrepresented and just FLAT OUT LIED!!!! I will continue going through all of the documentation at the court house -and LIKE the Martin Place, I may have to even take that to a higher agency because it also was very pretty alfalfa/grass fields and had irrigation and was being farmed even while I was employed and even then, produced nicely. Agricultural lands should be reclaimed as such as I think I can get some enforcement on this. We have more water in this valley than what is being used and the more agricultural ground we can expand, the chances of us keeping all of our water is even greater. We are out of the river and that in itself should tell you we have a dependable supply of water for ALL of the FARMS! \
