The primary purpose of the program is to enable private lenders to provide credit to farmers who cannot obtain credit on a conventional basis. It enables local lenders serving rural areas to make loans and receive an FmHa guarantee up to 90 percent. Who can make loans?

Beals and Tammie Risley to set automated surge valve Irrigation projects designed to conserve water, reduce salinity By ROSANN FILLMORE Sun Advocate editor V ' rent intervals. IT IM Water conservation' depends on improved irrigation practices and new technology. The Bureau of Recla- mation and Soil Conservation Service have combined efforts to establish some demonstration projects on farms in Carbon County where new practices can be observed and tested. The intent is to position them in the county where farmers can see them and understand how they save water. n Four surge valves, two wheel line, systems, a new phase converter and variable speed pump have been installed at various farms. Tony Beals from the SCS and Tammie Risley from the BoR were at Martin Ballards farm near Gordon Creek last Tuesday, checking the surge valve there. The valve allows water to be released down the furrows in surges, moving it through the rows more quickly, eliminating some of the deep penetration that usually occurs at the top of the furrow during irrigation. Beals and Risley were measuring the distance the water traveled during each period the water moved through the cable-gatio- furrows. Neutron probes detect soil moisture at diffe The, valve is set up in the middle of the gated pipe crossing the top of the field, allowing irrigation cycles to be alternated from side to side. The valve is solar powered, with automated controllers that can be set to control the surges according to moisture needs. Ballards farm was chosen we go, Beals said. - But the new technology the effort it takes to get it set up, Ballard believes. All my neighbors are interested. Everybody wants the latest, so they can improve their system a little bit. The demonstration sites are the forerunners of projects that could possibly be funded Rafael under the Price-Sa- n as a demonstration site Rivers because he is so good natured and patient, Beals said. Not only that, Ballard had already designed to reduce salts in the Colorado River. Preventing water from penetrating soils deeply helps eliminate salts from the river. Beals said the agency is waiting for a decision ofrecord on the projects environmental assessment. Once that is rendered, funding must be granted by Congress. The project will eliminate some irrigation induced wetlands and wildlife habitat. Some farmers are concerned that they will have to take extreme measures to restore habitat. Beals said simple practices such as leaving a strip of grain for animals are considered adequate wildlife practices. Most farmers enjoy seeing the wildlife and would not mind doing a few simple things to protect their habitat, Ballard said. installed an underground delivery system and gated pipe, so Beals and Risley only needed to install the valve and get the system going. Ballards underground delivery system has been in place for several years, and he loves it. Its saved us a little time and headaches, and a lot of water. He remembers spending a couple of days cleaning ditches, tearing up equipment and sodding in furrows to control the water. Now he seldom uses a shovel for irrigation. Getting the water through the furrows has taken a little more time than Beals and Risley anticipated, because the soil is so dry. Water had traveled 250 feet after the first surge and after a second surge, it had gained 100 feet.
