JoEllen Turner 970 -864 -7682 p.9 MINE SIGNED THE LEASEIUUIJII These "We BELIEVE" and WE ASSUME" is for the birds. Why did he not talk to the farmer or we would have gotten all these big ranchers around here that buy 100's of tons of hay every year from us and the GOOD PORTION OF IT IS OFF THE SUNSHINE PLACE THAT DEJOIA IS CALLING PASTURELANDS AND HE'S FULL OF CRAP!!!! I want an informal hearing to be held here in Nucla and 1 will show these people just how dishonest and how crooked WFC is and the lies that they write in these permits!!! Please let me know as soon as possible when that scheduled meeting is. We had a pond, some beehives, homestead, and a swell and as Michael testified in court, we always cut even the swell. It wasn't deep like WFC has made the San Miguel Power Property. We had gated piep and as you have seen in the photos, our furrows were over as quarter mile long also documented by WFC and it was flat and according to NRCS was one of the most EFFICICENTLY irrigated properties in this area which it can never be again. We also had siderolls that we purchased in 1996 as all the receipts in discovery showed and we purchased our first center pivot in 1994 and our second one prior to the mine entering this property. We had a traveling big gun since the 1970's of which we purchased new hose through WFC for 6000 dollars. We also had handsets and big gun extensions. These so called fields were always tilled and harvested after 1987 when Mr. Morgan sold all the livestock and we became "CASH CROP" ONLY. wE ALSO FERTILIZED EVERY YEAR!!! One of the gentlemen that signed the petition was working for coop in those EARLY EARLY years and he drove the fertilizer truck and even in 1987, he can tell you of all the alfalfa fields and corn and he did the fertilizing on these fields. And even prior to Mr. Morgan buying the property in 1959, it was always farmed, so Dejoia, YOU KNOW NOTHING AND YOUR ASSUMPTIONS AND BELIEFS CAN GO DOWN THE TUBE BECAUSE YOU DON'T EVEN BEGIN TO KNOW. You should have talked to us and got some REAL FACTS AND INFORMATION!!!! READ YOUR RULES LAND USE IS NOT WHAT THE VEGETATION COVER IS MR. FALLOW KNOW IT ALL, IT IS WHAT THE LAND HAS ALWAYS BEEN USED FOR. It also states that farming is a seasonal land use and IF ANY PICTURES ARE TAKEN THEY NEED TO BE TAKEN DURING HARVESTING PLANTING, AND THE TIMES THE LAND SHOWS THE MOST PRODUCTION. These rules and regulations just became part of the LAW since 1977 when President Carter ordered them into law to protect the landowners from WESTERN FUELS and mining companies just like them. They have thousands of dollars and deep pockets that they are able to throw away money and not even bat an eye and to hire such people as Dejoia and Dunker and pay them to say what they think and assume is nothing. Not one of those people came and talked to us and not one of those people were interested in the history and fact and if they were, they would have READ NRCS letter from Jim Boyd to the State and Ross Gubka that said over 90% of the Morgan property had been historically irrigated and cropped since 1973. The traveling big gun in an aerial photo will not show the production like the gated pipe and no portions of this property since 1993 has EVER been left fallow. I remember you well MR. DeJoia, We were trying to show you the CORN field that had already been harvested and the stubble was left and you said "OH is that a corn field ?" And this was from a so- called farmer and oil expert. "OH, I didn't realize what that was." So, you can take your bought and paid for analysis and shove it back to where it came from i think you just made more enemies. I am going to take 40 /Page
