"Oh, they're so in love says Alice, left, (Wendy Revill) as she and Liza (Amy at lovers Worlton) gaze Milly (Amy Revill) and Adam (Jeff Kirkpatrick) in a scene from Lehi High School's production of "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers." Farming interests are Dad and mom live on 30 acres in but their farming interests include a 640 acre ranching venture in Thatcher, Idaho. All but 30 of the of Lehi farm land owned by Boise and Carol Evans have been sold in order to invest in the Idaho farm. Boise helped his dad, June, farm the Lehi land for about 10 years after he graduated from high school, then, according to his wife, Carol, he went to work at Hercules to support his farming habit. ; Their son, Kim, runs the Idaho operation where they raise hay, grain and Beefmaster cows. Another son, Sam, helps his dad wherever he's needed. And that help Health invaluable. been has problems caught up to Boise two years ago when a heart attack and bypass surgery "slowed him down." That's about the time a long hard winter caused flooding problems around their farm in Lehi. "The family ground, Grandpa June's ground, is all under water, and, even though there have been other problems, this water coming has bothered me more than anything," Carol said. "When the water crested it was 53 inches deep on what used to be our back lawn." dike at The Evans' built a of the side the down the back and house, and after about two years when the water finally receded, the everything was dead: the trees, six-fo- I. - . grass, "it was devastasting to look out and see all the vegetation dead. We're going to replant this year and see what happens," Carol said. There are dredgings from the Jordan River on about five acres east of the Evans house, and Boise plans to replant that as well as other fields that have been under water. When the Jordan River flooded their property in Lehi, the Bear River in Idaho flooded too. . h f f y;n:,f lie 7 ; I ! "We had mud slides. They were ! new to us. We'd never heard of a mud slide. The mud covered the hill sides and steep places of our dry farm." asked if they had experienced a farm crisis, the Evans said, "I'll say. Things are hard: high fuel costs, machinery costs, getting help." Boise and Carol believe that they tan still make a profit, but the margin is narrow. "We all sit down and figure out what would be best to grow and that's why we rented our cows out. We figured there'd be a better return on ur money from the rent than we would get from milking them. We've done fairly well raising Beefmasters for breeding stock. We'll keep on raisinghay and grain. "When you farmed 30 years ago, you just kinda farmed. Now, there's so much competition. You have to keep accurate records. It's like running a big business and you have to figure all the angles." When - i53 Am t ' ' Tim where the presentation will be held.

The lavish affair starts at 7 p.m. with social hour and tack sale. The stallions will be presented at 8 p.m. inside the huge blue barn located on White's Ranch. The public is invited to follow Highway 73 two miles past Cedar Fort. There will be a searchlight designating the location of the barn i ill I Hi m, Boise Evans points to portion of his farm land that was covered by flood water from the Jordan River until recently. The aftermath of the flooding is only one of the problems facing local farmers as costs increase, profits decline. A The Evanses have not received help from federal or state government agencies despite the flooding and mud that has covered their ground and the ground water that has cracked the floors in their basement. "Flood insurance doesn't pay for something like that. The whole river has to come in to collect on that," Carol said. Many things have changed since their Evanses the began agricultural pursuits. Boise used to grow a lot of sugar beets. There's no longer a market for beets in Utah. Beets used to be a cash crop, but the Evanses weren't too sorry to see the end of the sugar beet era. "That was hard," they said. "Despite everything it's a good life. I've always been going to move to town - but I'll probably never do it. We get lots of company. We wouldn't have had that if we'd lived in town. We've met a lot of interesting people out here. National Geographic came out and did a survey on the flood. They went out and took pictures, and they'll probably do another survey," Boise said. He and his wife are proud of the fact that they've been able to send their kids to college. "I don't think they'be been deprived. They've probably had to work harder than most kids, but that's been good for 'em. No, I probably wouldn't have changed anything," Carol said. |
