• Marcia Talvitie also told all of us, sitting at Mrs. Morgans' table, any objections or mplaints <br />we had would have to be signed by Mr. Morgan. She said that I had written several objections and <br />letters, but they really needed to be signed by Mr. Morgan for them to be considered.. This is a total <br />violation of their rules and regulations. Anyone that is adversely affected by any of the mining or <br />that sees a problem can write an objection and request an informal public hearing. <br />Farming is a seasonal thing. Their laws state that documentation, pictures, references should all be <br />conducted during the season. In other words, when you document and take pictures should be when <br />we are in full production. It also states that the land use is not the vegetation cover but what the land <br />is being used for. So, if we are in the-middle of plowing up fields or replanting, or getting ready to <br />plow because of production dropping off, WFC IS NOT SUPPOSE TO DOCUMENT IT AS <br />UNDEVELOPED OR DRYLAND. YOUR law states it is what the land is used for. AND they <br />should have provided you with pictures of the windrows and the bales of hay and the corn and the <br />fields when the hay was 3 foot tall or taller. Also some of DRMS aerial photos are in late fall or <br />after everything has been done and then Marcia again takes a whack at us and says it's our <br />management instead of the fact that farming season is over. If it is GREEN it is irrigated and <br />cropped. <br />When Mr. Morgan bought the property in 1959, he ran cattle and sheep. There was a lot of grass and <br />grass/alfalfa with clover and lots of pasture. He raised hay and com and oats and had pasture for his <br />• livestock. It was still historically cropped and irrigated and sunshine corner was one of the larger <br />producers. We have also planted wheat and harvested wheat and oats and corn for grains as well as <br />oat hay, cornstalks, silage, and of course, hay. Mr. Morgan sold off all of his livestock over 20 years <br />ago and began putting up straight alfalfa hay and raising corn and a cover crop of oats for oathay and <br />some wheat. We mostly used the wheat for fertilizer. When it got so tall, we plowed it under to <br />fertilize the ground. Mr. Morgan has put massive amounts of fertilizer throughout the years on his <br />property and so did James Johnson. More fertilizer than what WFC has ever used, per acre. Some <br />years when the fertilizer was fairly cheap, we would order couple of semi-loads and out on 450-550 <br />pounds per acre. WFC would put on anywhere from 100 to 250 pounds per acre. When they were <br />trying to get Bond lease in the 9`' year they added a little bit more, but not what it needed and that <br />late, it just needed plowed up and re-planted. <br />In the laws, it says bond release to be 10 years due to the lack of precipitation as the rain fall is so <br />extensive in the East. I can see this applying to DRYLAND, but why isn't the continuos use of <br />irrigation water which is a substitute for the amount of precipitation taken into consideration for the <br />5 YEAR BOND release that the Eastern slope has?????? If the irrigation was figured as the <br />precipitation rate, the Bond Release period of 5 years should apply here for all irrigated crop lands. <br />Soil Maps furnished by Ross Gubka does not match soil types or descriptions like those of the Soil <br />Scientist, Jim Irvine or according to Department of Agriculture. Soil Scientist states PRIME soils <br />East of 2700 Road and Ross documentation does not reflect that. <br />Rangeland as documented by Ross Gubka on the map is, in fact, our CORN FIELD, producing 700 <br />ton of silage this year. It was never Rangeland. It was grass/alfalfa before that which was used to <br />graze my rodeo horses.
