The Naalee Burk Drainage Ditch. It is our under- <br /> standing that the ditch adjacent to the property of Irene <br /> Dirsina is a drainage ditch for the Naglee Burk district. <br /> This ditch shall remain and be maintained as a drainage ditch <br /> in the future. <br /> 2 .

In addition, more acreage will <br /> be under lease, for a grand total of 235 acres. <br /> It should also be pointed out that we plan to scrape the <br /> manure into sealed lagoons and properly recycle the waste <br /> material onto adjacent farm fields as fertilizer. We may <br />
