The debate and the policy making process
continues.
In the meantime, Masser rotates his fields
with three yean of small grains and one year of
potatoes.
It is part of the soil conservation plan that he
has for all his acreage, and it requires him to
farm much of his acreage in small grains in
order to rotate potatoes well, even though grain
production accounts for only about 5 percent of
the company’s income.
Along with conservation tillage, terracing
and trying to maintain healthy farming prac
tices, Masser also knows that the land that his
enterprise keeps open will allow recharge of
groundwater the constant source of water
for all freshwater streams and rivers.
Without healthy crop agriculture, and with
out well-practiced livestock production that
contributes to keeping local land open for crop
production, Masser and others question how
long it would take get-rich quick investors to
pave over, bulldoze, or otherwise drain those
recharge areas.
In fact, Masser and others within the agricul
tural community have offered that perhaps
agriculture, and others who maintain open
groundwater recharge areas, should be given
some kind of credit by the rest of the communi
ty for the amount of groundwater recharge their
operations provide.
“I believe in that,” Masser said. “It’s only
fair, and it’s the only way to maintain those
open areas that everyone benefits from.”
Some early estimates on groundwater
recharge for the area has suggested that farm
land receiving 36 to 42 inches of rainfall per
acre/per year recharges about a foot/per acre of
water into the aquifer.
“The more land we operate and own, the
more water we ought to be allowed to use,
because the more land kept open, the more
water is available to recharge.
“It’s consistent with farmland preservation
(goals). We need to want to preserve farmland
to continue to get water.”
