Letter from WESTERN STATES AG

RE: Boardman Hemingwway 500 KV Transmission Line Project

Dear Jim and the Ten Davis Area Farmers,

Our conversation regarding the proposed Transmission Line Project and the potential negative impact this could have on your farming business has prompted a few questions in my mind. The success of our customers greatly impacts our business. Like you, I am not opposed to the construction of the transmission line; however, there may be further considerations that need addressed.

Is there a more suitable route for the transmission line that would avoid or at least minimize the impact to private property value?

Would a more suitable route avoid further reducing prime farm ground by routing through public and BLM ground?

what impact will the proposed transmission line have on the farmers' ability to move machinery between fields?

To be in full support of this project, I would need these concerns addressed.
