Show 7 Stanching, is a way of life for the Dudleys Recently appointed presi- dent of the Ouray Park Irrigation Company, Ron Dudley spends most of his time farming the place he and his wife Vera have in partnership with Ron's mother and father, Harold and Lula Dudley. , The place which is located in the Avalon area south of U. S. Highway 40 is comprised of approximately 970 deeded acres in the home place, and 870 acres of land adjoining it which belonged to Rons grandfather, and which Ron has leased. The Dudley's also have a BLM permit and other . range land leased. They farm 720 acres. WATER FOR THIS large undertaking is water from the Uinta and Whiterocks Rivers, Dudley, looks over parts for a sprinkler system he is constructing. The Dudley ranch specializes in raising and selling fattened beef. Hay is one of the principal crops raised on the Avalon ranch. Ronald APBIt 15, 1976 to implement his plan in part, this fall. via the Ouray Park Irrigation Companies, Brough reservoir and other reservoirs the company has built Ron flood irrigates most of the land under cultivation but about 250 new acres will be under a sprinkler irrigation system. The main product is 175 head of cows, and the farm produces everything needed to feed them. Ron feels that instead of selling feeder calves in the fall, he will grow enough feed to feed and finish them in feed lots, finishing about 150 head of steers or heifers every year, and then selling them as fats. Some of the crops Ron will raise to help feed the cows will be alfalfa hay and alfalfa broom hay, barley, oats, some wheat and corn for silage. Ron hopes THE YOUNG DUDLEY define tely uses crop rotation and uses fertiliser. definately Commenting on the fact that many of the farmers in the country seem to feel that they cannot afford fertilizer, he feels that those who are going to farm cant afford not to fertilize. To pay the price required for water, machinery, and fuel, fertilizer can double one's production and profit. Ron feels the biggest expense is fuel and fertilizer. It is obvious to one visiting the Dudleys that they are an exceptional couple, willing to work side by side for a way of life that is highly desired by both of them. They are conscientious and well informed on many aspects of farmer life. They know what is needed and are willing to sacrifice to have the kind of life they are both determined to have. With that kind of determination what can go wrong? 0000000000000000000000000000000090000000000000000000000 IWW'lVWV'uVU OJPH sSaiffiUKB CK3H o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o Ti 0 o o o o 2 o o o o 0 o o o o o o o with these Gardm Supplies Garden Tools Mowers Tillers Seeds Hoses VJE HAVE . . .
