Coming out of the winter months and into the spring planting season, the occurrence of regular rain
events left the soil on my farms continuously wet. Rather than irrigate onto wet soil, I made the conscious
decision to delay my irrigation until the conditions were more favorable for irrigation. I believe this
decision was a responsible decision that I would make again.
In April, my farm received nearly ten inches of rain. As a result of the wet weather pattern and my
management decision, there were a few days in which my lagoons were within the start -pump range.
That situation was alleviated responsibly in the early days of May and the lagoons have been managed
within the permit specifications since that time.
Sincerely,
keph Aloky
