roll! They are one of the largest producers of bay and corn other than us. Corn, Sunflowers, and <br />other crops cannot be raised under a side roll system and Ross Gubka has documented many <br />tinges now that 50 shares of water which Mr. Morgan used historically for 50 years to irrigate <br />what they are mining can not be done with a si.deroll system. We hads siderolls, big guns center <br />pivots, gated pipe, and furrows long before the mine even knew what they were. <br />"Irrigated farmland is meant to encompass irrigated pasture, cropland, and hayland and are <br />differentiated by the amount of alfalfa in the fields as well as the intensity of management" What <br />a stupid statement. Cropland is anything that is HARVESTED oats, grasses, legumes, trees, and <br />it has NOTHING to do with the intensity of management or the amount of alfalfa. Where do <br />these people come from? Hay land can be straight grass, straight oats, straight corn stalks, or a <br />combination of any but not limited to those. And even pasture can be cropped. and harvested and <br />all require a tremendous amount of work, management, fertilizer. Again, ALL lies. A, lot of crop <br />land has NO alfalfa Anything that is harvested, even. trees, are cropland. Hayiand can be any type <br />of hay, grass. Kochi.as, these are types of hay land. 1 feel our chain is just jerked here. Correcting <br />all of their terminology and false documentation does not change the fact that they should pay for <br />all of these violations of State and Federal laws. PR 6 is illegal when false documentation makes <br />up 90% of it. <br />Page 2.04.3$ First off., NH2 required an ENTIRE NEW PERMIT APPLICATION. This was <br />required by tbeState since NH1 and NH2 were not contiguous. Since the new permit was <br />required by the State, the accuracy of this permit should have been required and the correct <br />terminology required according to the Pre -Mine Land use definitions as required in 1.04. No add. <br />on, no changing the meaning, just the facts. <br />Page 2.04 3 -$ Lies! "There are other crop areas in the vicinity for silage corn, but none in the <br />permit area. Every field that we own on this place has been planted in corm at one time or <br />another during rotation. And, has not only been used for silage Corn, but we have been. up many <br />tons of grain in grain bins. Alfalfa kills alfalfa so interseeding is not possible So when <br />production falls off, we plow up, plant in corn, oats, wheat, etc and then after as year or two, go <br />back to the alfalfa. <br />On San Miguel Powers Property, when we had. it, we also planted corn and wheat. We are the <br />only ones in this area that raise Straight Alfalfa. Most of the farmers had a grass, or grass/alfalfa, <br />but most all was harvested. <br />"We believe that one area of former irrigated hayland should be classified as irrigated cropland." <br />Another very stupid Statement. All of the Fre --mine use of the rnoargart pt�opext� was irrigated <br />cropland. When Lance Wade signed the lease in 199$ he put "all of the property will be returned . <br />to farmable, row crop condition, alfalfa." This is his words. We had no pasturc or just haylands <br />as they say. "One area" All of the fields on the Morgan property being mined were historically <br />irrigated and cropped as per letter attached form rim Boyd, NRCS. <br />The fields East approximately 50 acres part of the Sunshine place was producing 700 ton of corn <br />and had just been put in. AV 120 alfalfa prior to the acquisition of the property. <br />
