doing this ag project district and making some givebacks in the way of -. You know, weÓre not saying youÓve got to have paved roads to this thing, weÓre not saying youÓve got to have a full- fledged County water system to this thing, realizing that this is agriculture, that farmers are generally used to driving on graveled roads and frequently used to the gravel roads washing out sometimes, too. But I think these compromises that weÓre making are appropriate. And, to be honest, I think that a farmer given access to, you know, a farmer with ten acres who can, that was given water, that was given roads, can be as successful or perhaps be more successful than someone with a 20-acre parcel who still has to, has got to figure out how heÓs going to get his water, has got to figure out how to, you know, how to work his easements out through, you know, through these different people, and build the road and other infrastructure himself. As far as Commissioner GrahamÓs concerns about the ag project district getting out of control, I think, in general, I donÓt think we have to worry too much about a person with a 20-acre parcel wanting to split it up in an ag project district type of situation because we do still have these commitments that we need to make to, you know, in any subdivisio supply water, you do need to supply roads and other infrastructure. While weÓre making some compromises here, I think weÓre still, there are still a bit of in here as opposed to just a lot somewhere else. Thank you.
