Compensation - The Sandy, Utah (April 7) Utah Farm Bureau Irrigation Pumpers Committee, representing 1,300 Utah farmers using PacifiCoip power, said Friday that the company's offer to pay fanners 10 cents per kilowatt hour not to irrigate is much too low and that the offer came too late in the season. Steve Bodily of Lewiston, chair of the committee, said farmers do want to cooperate We want to be with PacifiCorp. as efficient as we can, for our as the power comUnfortunately, many farmers have already planted their crops this season and invested heavily in fertilizer, weed control and other production costs that could not be fully recouped if they do not irrigate.' Bodily said if the PacifiCorp offer had come to Utah irrigators earlier, as with Idaho growers, it may have worked, "but certainly not at the 10 cents a kilowatt well pany. hour level." The committee said a power buy-bac- k from Utah farmers would not help the energy shortage much because Utah irrigators use only about 1.2 percent A' a giving mood. t '4 Utah for those farmers who might be able to take advantage of the offer," Bodily said. In addition to their compensation offer, PacificCorp has also petitioned the Public Service Commission in a rate case calling for a 22.44 percent increase in rates paid by irrigators. This proposed increase is 4.5 percent higher than any other customer class proposed adjustment in the rate case. Referring to the case, Bodily said Utah farmers should only pay the same rate increase that the Public Service Commission sets for all customers in the current PacifiCorp. "We do want to work with PacifiCorp to develop n a program that will save power without destroying farm operations." The Irrigation Pumpers Committee is a part of Utah Farm Bureau Federation, the state's largest farm and ranch organization, with more than 22,300 member families in Utah.
