Multi-Use of Sanitary Landfill Site ( cont 'd) <br /> Mr. Underhill suggested that dry land grain rental is the <br /> most practical use prior to landfill operations . Irrigated <br /> pasture using sprinklers would be the most practical crop for <br /> reclamation of the site after landfill if two to three feet of <br /> dirt for final cover. <br /> The expected return per acre for dry land grain farming <br /> as prepared by Extension Service is as follows : <br /> 1 1. Expected income - dry land grain Usual landlord share - 1/4 crop <br /> Avg. yield = 1700 lbs/acre wheat <br /> 1/4 x 1700 = 425 lbs wheat <br /> 425 lbs @ $2. 75/cwt=$11. 69 (price last year) <br /> 425 lbs @ $3. 10/cwt=$13. 18 (present price) <br /> 2. Landlord input <br /> A. 1/4 fertilizer <br /> 150 lbs/acre 20-20 @ $80/ton = $3 . 00 <br /> B. 1/4 weed control <br /> 2,4-D applied = $3. 50/acre <br /> 1/4 x $3. 50 = $ . 88 <br /> Total = $3. 88 <br /> 3. Net return per acre <br /> 1971 1972 <br /> $11. 69 13 . 1 <br /> - 3 . 88 3 . 88 <br /> x. 30 <br /> COMMENTS <br /> A. The actual fertilizer rate used by some growers is 125 <br /> Recommended is 200 lbs acre . This would make a landlord <br /> lbs/acre. Reco / <br /> 1/4 share input of $4 . 00 or $1. 00 more than 150, but unless it <br /> would be an unusually dry year, an expected yield would be <br /> 2000 lbs/acre. This is a 75 lbs/acre landlord share increase in <br /> grain worth $2. 33 . <br /> 1 32 <br />
