are

We

okay,

In
january,
the
department
of
land
sold
one
endowment
timber
sale
at
auction,
as
well
as
one
g
a
sale
at
auction.
The
endowment
net
sale
value
represents
a
23
up
bid
over
the
advertised
value.
While
the
g
a
sale
represents
a
six
percent
up
bid
over
the
advertised
value.
Both
sales
had
competitive
bidding.
J
As
you
can
see,
the
goat,
creek
sale
did
not
sell
last
month,
so
we'll
be
looking
to
reappraise
this
particular
sale,
and
we
will
offer
it
for
a
second
time.
At
a
future,
auction
total
endowment
saw
log
volume
sold
in
january
was
nearly
5.35
million
board
feet
which
sold
for
close
to
1.45
million
dollars
and
271.02
a
thousand
the
g,
a
sale
included
five
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
board
feet
and
sold
for
two
hundred

thousand
four
hundred

dollars
and
four

dollars.
A
thousand
proposed
timber
sales
for
auction.
J
J
J
Table
one
department,
timber,
sale,
timber,
harvest
receipts,
I'm
sorry
to
date,
this
fiscal
year
receipts
have
amounted
to
nearly
57
million
dollars
and,
as
you
can
see,
january
brought
in
about
8.76
million
dollars,
while
february
is
projected
to
bring
in
about
9.2
million
dollars
in
timber
receipts
and
interest.
J
J
J
Governor
and
land
board
members,
winter
lumber,
production
and
transportation
continues
to
affect
the
markets,
as
you
know,
and
you've-
and
this
is
what
a
lot
of
folks
have
been
talking
about.
A
shortage
of
rail
cars
and
trucks
are
also
becoming
a
a
big
problem.
The
situation
at
the
canadian
border
crossings
has
also
had
some
impact.
J
Additionally,
traders
expecting
a
longer
downturn
in
prices
were
surprised
by
renewed
strength
in
the
market
so
again
governor.
We
continue
to
to
ride
this
lumber
roller
coaster.
Ride
the
market
for
lumber
for
repair
remodeling
is
expected
to
grow
by
five
percent
in
2022,
which
is
good
news
for
the
big
box
stores
and
home
centers
and
helps
drive,
demand
for
lumber
and
stumpage
lumber
use
is
forecasted
to
grow
by
seven
percent
overall
in
2022,
rising
interest
rates
are
likely
to
have
some
impact.
J
Finally,
the
six
month
average
stumpage
price
for
endowment
timber
is
about
10
percent
higher
than
this
time
last
year
and,
of
course,
the
map
on
page
four
gives
you
an
idea
of
where
our
current
sales
are
being
advertised.
So
governor
land
board
members.
Before
I
move
on
to
attachment
b,
I
will
stop
there
for
any
questions.
A
director.
G
We've
inquired
a
couple
times
about
splitting
out
salvage
versus
green
timber.
What's
our
schedule
to
get
that
done.
J
Governor
we've
talked
about
this,
I'm
going
to
ask
jim
elban
to
come
up
and
just
give
you.
I
just
want
to
know
when
we're
going
to
do
it
governor,
we'll
we'll
work
on
that
for
next
month.
We'll
split
that
out,
I
will
say
that
we
do
have
some
of
our.
Our
pricing,
like
I
said
we're
we're
up
10
in
our
stoppage
pricing.
From
last
year,
we've
had
some
strong
cedar
sales
that
have
been
a
part
of
these
some
of
these
salvage
sales,
so
that
has
driven
our
our
our
pricing
up.
J
It's
created
more
competition
at
auction,
so
we
have
seen
some
competitive
up
bidding
despite
the
the
salvage
sales,
we'll
we'll
work
on
on
that
and
split
that
out
and
and
what
we'll
do
is
as
have
a
conversation
with
with
your
staff
and
land
board
staff
variance
at.
J
Well,
governor,
it's
it's
all!
You
know
this
is
certainly
the
the
the
way
we've
we've
reported
on
these
as
a
whole.
You
haven't
missed
anything
again,
it's
all.
It
all
fluctuates
given
what
type
of
sale
we're
looking
at
and
all
the
different
variables
that
go
into
a
particular
sale.
One
month,
you
have
high
cedar
sales
one
month.
J
You
have
low
valued
sales,
what
we
can
do
I'll
circle
up
with
our
trustlands
folks,
and
we
can.
We
can
demonstrate
actually.

The
midpoint
in

Q
A

Documents
that
would
be
available
that
would
enlighten
folks
as
to
the
director's
report.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
record
that.

I'm

P
J
E
Good
morning,
mr
governor
steps
to
the
board
staff,
more
and
more,
I
serve
as
the
navigable
waterways
program
manager
today,
I'd
like
to
present
for
your
approval,
disclaimer
of
interest.
The
purpose
of
this
disclaimer
is
to
clear
title
to
land
parcel
along
the
snake
river.
E
This
property
overlooks
the
snake
river
from
the
top
of
the
canyon.
So
there's
a
several
hundred
foot
drop
down
to
the
river
below.
E
I'll
give
you
a
bit
of
history
back
in
the
early
1900s
first
established
the
meander
line
of
the
river,
and
that's
shown
in
green
on
the
map.
They
placed
that
line
on
the
rim
of
the
canyon
and
oftentimes.
These
surveys
did
not
include
a
field
inspection.
This
was
done
remotely,
so
our
field
office
has
correctly
determined
the
ordinary
high-water
mark
of
the
river,
that's
shown
in
purple
on
the
map
and,
of
course,
the
state
owns
the
beds
and
banks
of
all
navigable
waters
below
the
ordinary
high
water
mark.
E
You
would
like
to
correct
these
parcel
boundaries
by
disclaiming,
35.475
acres
of
land
to
the
upland
property
owners.
That's
that's
french
quarter,
farms,
llc
and
the
landowner
will
then
grant
back
to
the
state
a
parcel
of
land
below
the
ordinary
high
water
mark,
totaling,
0.233
acres,
as
well
as
a
25
foot
easement
in
the
event
that
we
choose
to
pursue
a
public
use
right
of
way
along
the
river.
E
Thank
you
thank
you
and
stand
for
any
questions
you
have.
I.
E
We
do
not
at
this
time.
The
idea
is
that
these
disclaimers
are
voluntary
and
when
we
collect
these
easements
from
parcels
along
the
river,
eventually,
we
can
string
them
together
in
the
event
that
we
can
use.
G
Basically,
basically
giving
them
30
35.
G
G
B
Intrigued
in
this
instance
that
the
way
the
ordinary
hot
water
mark
was
originally.
A
A
A
Regular
agenda,
given.
J
Given
the
action.
A
A
Study
update
so
okay,
we'll
take
it
over
to
chris
to
address
updates.
J
P
P
I
P
A
A
A
P
Date
in
terms
of
terms.
P
P
Governor
members
of
the
land
board,
so
calendar
presents
a
quarterly
performance
report
and
part
of
that
report.
We
look
at
performance
of
all
our
managers,
whether
they're,
above
or
below
their
respective
benchmarks,.
P
We
we
check
track
performance
daily.
We
we
generally
tend
to
be
pretty
patient
investors.
We
recognize
that
certain
styles
can
go
in
and
out
of
favor,
but
we're
also,
you
know.
We
know
it's
our
responsibility
to
do
what's
right
for
the
fun.
So,
if
they're
chronically
underperforming,
we'll
change
out
a
manager.
Q
A
P
P
Have
a
hard
line
that
says:
if
you
underperform
for
two
or
three
quarters,
but
we're
regularly
discussing
it,
there
are
besides
performance,
it
can
also
trigger
removal
of
a
manager
if
they
change
their
management
team.
They
do
other
things.
So
it's
it's.
A
P
P
A
G
Q
P
Update
both
timber
and
range
land
values
based
on
an
income
approach,
so
I
don't
think
we
had
full
appraisals
using
multiple
evaluation
methods,
but
we
did
use
an
income
approach
to.
G
A
G
G
G
G
G
Is
do
we
need
to
collectively,
as
a
board,
haven't.
L
L
B
That,
just
so
that
we're
not
caught
up
don't.
P
Think
it's
chris
governor,
mr
attorney
general.
Certainly
I'm
certainly
not
an
attorney,
but
my
understanding
was.
We
first
landed
first
engaged
calendar
in
2014
and
then
in
2019,
both
the
land
board
and
efib
went
out
to
bid
for
consulting
consulting
services.
P
P
The
heavy
lifting
had
been
done
during
those
interim
years.
We
reduced
the
scope
of
their
services,
so
they
were
re-engaged
in
fall
2019,
but
there
was
a
significant
reduction
in
their
fees
from
approximately
130
000
a
year
to
50
000
a
year
with
the
understanding
that,
under
that
contract,
they
could
be
reappointed
for
special
projects
such
as
this
project.

F
Which

executive
order

this

to

During

for

solely
from

1
is
a
draft
schedule
of
the
rulemaking
process,
which
includes
at
least
two
public
meetings
during
negotiated
rulemaking.
F
G
B
Governor
general,
I
move
that
we
authorize
department
to
initiate
negotiated
rulemaking
for
idapa
20.03.17
rules
governing
leases
on
state-owned,
submerged
lands
and
formerly
submerged
lands.

Good
morning,
governor
members
of
the
land
board,
I'm
scott
phillips,
the
policy
and
communications
chief
for
the
idaho
department
of
lands.
This
request
to
adopt
all
of
ideal's
administrative
rules
as
conditional
temporary
rules
is
on
today's
agenda
to
ensure
continuity
of
our
administrative
rules.
Following
the
german
of
the
legislature,
this
request
is
tied
to
direction
the
department
and
all
state
agencies
received
from
the
division
of
financial
management.
H
H
per
the
governor's
zero-based
regulation
executive
order
on
october
19
2021
the
board
adopted
as
pending
fee
rules,
idapa
200201
rules
pertaining
to
idle
force
practices,
act
and
adapa
200309
easements
on
state-owned
navigable
waterways.
These
rules
have
been
submitted
to
the
2022
idaho
legislature
for
review,
then
on
november
16
2021
the
board
adopted
ideals
omnibus,
pending
non-fee
and
fee
rules.
These
rules
have
also
been
submitted
to
the
legislature
for
review.
H
If
ideals
rules
are
approved
by
the
legislature,
the
pending
rules
will
become
final
rules,
if
not
approved
by
the
legislature,
which
is
likely.
The
administrative
rules
will
expire
upon
adjournment
of
the
2022
session
and
just
to
clarify.
This
request
covers
the
previously
approved
rules
under
adapa
20
that
are
listed
in
attachment
2
of
your
briefing
materials
and
most
of
the
19
rule,
chapters
included
in
dapa
20
fall
under
the
authorities
of
the
lamb
board.
However,
adapter
20
does
include
rules
for
the
idaho
oil
and
gas
conservation
commission
and
the
idaho
board
of
scaling
practices.
H
These
boards
will
meet
independently
to
consider
whether
to
adopt
their
rules
as
conditional
temporary
rules.
Under
this
agenda
item,
the
board
is
not
being
asked
to
approve
those
commission's
rules.
If
the
agenda
is
approved
or
this
agenda
item
is
approved
by
the
board,
we
will
submit
the
notices
of
adoption
of
temporary
rules.
The
document
included
an
attachment
two
of
your
materials
to
dfm
per
their
deadline
and,
in
closing,
idl
recommends
that
the
board
adopt
his
conditional
temporary
rules.
H
G
B
G
J
Okay,
governor
land
board
members
on
to
the
information
agenda,
good
neighbor
authority
and
shared
stewardship,
update
craig
foss
state
forester
is
here
and
he
will
introduce
his
staff
that
we'll
be
presenting
today.
M
M
M
National
forests
were
given
the
authority
to
add
to
that
designation
and,
as
of
today,
that
designation
stands
at
about
6.1
million
acres.
After
that
effort,
then
governor
otter
asked
the
department
of
lands
how
we
might
best
engage
this
engaged
to
help
address
these
restoration
needs
on
our
national
forests.
M
M
In
2016
we
hired
our
first
staff
person
and
good
neighbor.
John
songster
was
hired
as
a
program
manager.
He
was
later
promoted
to
bureau
chief
and
now
we
have
15
full-time
employees
and
a
dozen
seasonals
that
are
engaging
that
effort
and
john
will
give
an
update
on.
What's
going
on
with
good
neighbor
again
continuing
on
in
2018,
then
secretary
of
agriculture,
sonny
purdue
unveiled
the
shared
stewardship
initiative.
M
Good
neighbor
really
focuses
on
using
state
staffing
and
processes
to
address
needs
on
federal
lands.
Shared
stewardship
is
all-encompassing.
If
you
look
at
a
landscape
you're,
going
to
have
federal
state,
industrial
and
private
land
ownership
in
order
to
impact
that
landscape
to
treat
that
landscape,
to
protect
communities
from
wildfire
and
to
address
forest
health
concerns,
we
need
to
think
across
all
land,
ownerships
and
so
shared
stewardship
is
really
all-encompassing,
and
so
with
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
era
and
john
they'll.
M
I
S
S
Shared
stewardship,
the
cross
boundary
work,
the
no
boundaries,
forestry
efforts
are
really
the
new
way
we're
doing
business.
This
is
not
just
talk.
This
is
really
happening.
The
agencies
are
working
very
closely
together,
we're
reaching
out
together
to
the
landowners,
and
this
is
the
way
we're
going
to
collaboratively
work
in
the
future.
S
W
Q
For
the
natural
resources
conservation
service,
we're
part
of
the
usda
and
we
use
farm
bill
monies
to
assist
private
landowners
with
those
funds.
We
can
help
tie
those
projects
together
where
we've
got
forest
lands,
federal
forest
lands
and
state
forest
lands.
Getting
work
done,
and
maybe
there's
a
private
landowner
in
the
middle
that
maybe
we
can
be
that
avenue
for
them
to
help
get
some
forest
management
done
and
tie
those
acres
together
between
the
between
all
the
parcels.
D
G
B
S
It's
really
about
focusing
the
right
resources
in
the
right
places
to
get
the
most
needed
work
done,
whether
working
with
the
national
forest
to
increase
the
pace
and
scale
of
needed
treatments
through
our
g,
a
program
or
we're
reaching
out
to
adjacent
private
land
owners
to
expand
the
footprint
of
needed
treatments
with
our
cross-boundary
cooperative
work,
a
reminder
that
in
our
2018
shared
stewardship
agreement,
we
set
a
goal
of
doubling
the
acres
treated
on
idaho's
national
forest
by
2025.,
using
50
000
acres
as
our
baseline
measure.
In
the
three
federal
fiscal
years.
S
S
V
Good
morning,
governor
little
members
of
the
board
for
the
record,
I'm
john
songster,
our
good
neighbor
bureau
chief,
the
good
neighbor
authority,
is
one
of
the
key
tools
behind
the
shared
stewardship
strategy.
Gna
leverages
the
efficiency
of
state
processes
and
provides
an
added
boost
of
capacity
from
the
private
sector.
V
V
As
restoration
work
is
ramped
up
on
the
national
forest
in
idaho,
so
too,
of
the
output
of
forest
products.
The
total
annual
timber
volume
sold
from
partnering
national
forests
has
increased
by
30
percent.
Over
the
past
five
years,
g,
a
timber
sales
accounted
for
roughly
10
percent
of
the
total
volume
sold
from
these
forests
in
fiscal
year
21..
V
V
The
private
sector
is
delivering
added
capacity
and
specialized
resources
to
advance
shared
stewardship
through
gna.
To
date,
the
program
is
awarded
more
than
100
contracts,
totaling
nearly
5
million
dollars
to
expedite
project
planning
and
implement
a
wide
range
of
management
activities
on
federal
lands.
S
So
in
our
northern
priority
landscape,
jeff
lau,
our
shared
regional,
shared
stewardship
coordinator
orchestrates,
all
of
the
cross
boundary
work.
We
are
so
fortunate
to
have
this
panhandle
national
forest
staff.
Member.
In
our
ideal
office,
he
has
been
critical
to
the
successes
we've
experienced
in
idaho,
incubating
all
of
our
projects,
and
this
type
of
shared
position
is
possible
because
of
our
allocation
of
shared
stewardship
state
funds.
We've
had
over
the
last
two
years
in
the
northern
priority
landscape.
S
Around
the
panhandle
forest
project,
we've
had
over
7
thousand
acres
harvested
or
treated
on
state
endowment
lands
throughout
idl's,
whole
pondere
lake
supervisory
area,
with
2
000
of
those
state
land
acres
being
within
this
northern
priority
landscape
on
non-industrial
private
lands
in
bonner,
county
over
170
acres
have
been
treated
using
our
fire
mitigation
grant
funds
and
another
71
acres
right
now
are
in
the
nrcs.
Equip
application
queue
to
receive
funding
to
do
these
treatments
in
2022.
S
With
the
diagonal
hash
marks
over
7
000
acres
of
these
scattered
lands,
federal
parcels
are
planned
to
be
treated
over
the
next
five
years,
with
gna
doing
administering
all
of
these
treatments
in
the
scattered
lands
cross
boundary
focal
area
in
southwest
boundary
county.
We
have
several
areas
of
interested
private
landowners
where
fuels
treatments,
projects
have
started
or
will
soon
start,
and
we
just
learned
that
this
shared
stewardship
focal
area
has
been
selected
to
receive
a
joint
chiefs
grant
award
to
further
enhance
our
cross-boundary
treatment
efforts.
S
S
S
One
way
is
piggybacking
on
the
successful
messaging
already
being
sent
out
by
the
idaho
forest
products.
Commission,
we
completed
four
mail
outs
of
these
informational,
postcards
statewide,
giving
forest
land
owners
an
easy
way
to.
Let
us
know
that
they
wanted
to
join
their
private
forests.
With
this
effort,
a
postage
paid,
tear
off
mail
back
postcard
only
needed
to
be
dropped
in
the
mail
and
follow-up
emails
and
landowner
assistance
would
come
quickly
with
our
initial
mail
out.
In
this
bonner
county
area,
we
had
a
97
percent
favorable
response
rate
from
private
landowners.
S
All
shared
stewardship
team
members
can
communicate
landowner
assistance
progress
through
an
idl-created
geodatabase
accessible
by
all
partners
by
all
the
organizations
through
arcgis
online.
This
has
been
a
critical
piece
of
interagency
communication
within
these
shared
stewardship
teams,
when
the
shared
stewardship
working
group
all
comes
together
working
towards
the
same
goals,
here's
how
we
know
it's
working.
S
S
V
To
the
south
of
our
northern
priority
landscape
idle's
work
in
coordination
with
the
nez
perce
clearwater
national
forest
to
remove
and
rehab
fire
containment
lines
constructed
during
the
suppression
of
last
summer's
leland.
Complex
operations
were
completed.
This
past
fall
to
stabilize
slopes
and
salvage
close
to
2
million
board
feet
of
fell
trees
from
roughly
5
miles
of
fire
control
lines.
V
Last
month,
the
g
a
program
awarded
the
first
of
two
deck
sales,
which
will
yield
close
to
a
million
dollars
in
revenues
to
support
additional
restoration
work
in
the
area
affected
by
the
fire
in
the
south
priority
landscape
from
the
boise
national
forest
and
equally
critical
to
the
success
of
our
cross.
Boundary
projects
is
our
shared
stewardship
coordinator,
lynn.
Oliver.
V
A
joint
chiefs
landscape
restoration
proposal
has
been
submitted
for
the
highway
95
corridor
project
adjacent
to
the
payette
national
forest.
The
joint
chiefs
partnership
enables
the
nrcs
and
the
forest
service
to
invest
in
cross-boundary
projects
that
would
further
protect
watersheds
and
reduce
wildfire
threats
in
this
area.
V
V
V
V
V
This
past
year,
the
first
of
these
treatments
was
completed
through
the
275-acre
willow,
south
g,
a
sail
and
then
further
south
on
the
boise
national
forest.
Idl
is
currently
conducting
timber
removal
operations
on
the
south
side
g
a
sail
as
part
of
the
sagehen
integrated
restoration
project,
a
range
of
silvicultural
treatments
and
prescribed
fire
will
improve
forest
conditions
and
restore
watershed.
Functions
in
this
area,
which
was
heavily
impacted
by
the
2019
douglas
fir,
tussock
moth.
S
Outbreak,
so
in
closing,
we
invite
all
of
you
to
view
more
details
and
explanations
of
our
project
worked
across
the
state
by
visiting
our
no
boundaries,
forestry
web
pages.
On
our
ideal
website,
we
have
interactive
story,
map
tours
and
links
to
videos
and
spatial
risk
analyses
that
can
really
tell
the
full
story
of
our
shared
stewardship
and
gna
successes.
B
General,
I
suspect
that
the
department
of
land
doesn't
go,
doesn't
go
out
trump
trouncing
through
the
national
forest
to
say
we're
going
to
have
a
good
neighbor
authority
project
here.
So
take
me
through
the
process
of
how
it's
identified.
Who
does
what
and
how
do
we
get
to
the
end?
Result:
simple.
I'm
you
know
small
mind
short
person.
Help
me
out.
V
Typically,
that
also
involves
some
field
visits
with
our
staff
and
at
some
point
we
make
a
determination
whether
that's
a
good
fit
for
the
program,
and
then
we
also
determine
what
parts
the
state
is
going
to
do
and
what
parts
the
forest
service
is
going
to
retain.
And
then
we
identify
those
different
pieces
of
the
project
in
our
agreement
and
then
we
move
forth
with
the
project
and
continue
to
check
in
throughout
the
planning
and
preparation
and
execution
of
those
projects.
B
Let's
follow-up
governor
general,
so
in
identifying
the
parcel
the
federal
government
in
their,
they
will
say:
hey
we
here's
some
things.
We
think
you
all
then
go
and
study
that
and
say:
oh
yeah.
We
think
that's
good
or
we
think
it's
not
good
that
doesn't
dissipate
the
requirement
that
the
federal
government
do
its
work
on
its
own.
B
I
mean
esa
and
all
the
other
kind
of
stuff
that
it
has
to
do
right
and
and
and
so
then
it's
they're
doing
their
work
and
we're
saying
okay,
but
we've
got
some
expertise
here
that
we
can
bring
to
bear
that
helps,
get
this
project
done
and
that's
really
what
we're
doing
correct.
V
General
lawson,
that's
that
is
correct.
All
of
the
all
of
the
federal
policies
and
laws
still
apply
to
these
projects,
and
so
we
just
negotiate
on
a
case-by-case
basis.
B
B
What's
going
to
include
nepa
and
all
that
other
stuff
that
they
have
to
do
so
they're
doing
their
thing
and
we're
saying
hey:
we've
got
some
expertise
that
we
can
bring
to
bear
and
some
available
resources,
and
we
can
help
apply
this,
the
mechanical
thinning
or
whatever,
whatever
the
the
the
process
may
be,
that
will
then
end
up
in
a
better
managed
federal
forest,
but
we
also
then
benefit
us
as
well,
because
we
have
are
the
neighboring
property
and
all
the
other
kinds
of
things
that
go
with
it.
That's
my
understanding
is
that
correct.
B
The
table
to
do
more
one
other
follow-up,
and
that
is,
I
think,
as
I
think
back,
we
we
I'm
going
to
use
the
word
nominated
because
I
don't
know
what
else
to
use
about
1.8
million
acres,
something
like
that
and
then
then
the
federal
government
added
another
4.3
and
about
6.1
that
was
originally
designated,
and
I
don't
know
whether
we're
limited
to
that
or
we
have
other
projects
that
can
be
added
on
so
help
me
help
me
with
that
part.
V
Yeah
governor
members
of
the
board
general
austin
that
designation,
we
don't
have
to
stick
to
just
that.
Those
designated
areas
it
does
allow
for
a
categorical
exclusion,
which
is
abbreviated,
nepa
process.
V
I
Just
for
a
comment,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
being
here.
I
know
I
got
to
come
up
north
and
sit
down
with
you
all
on
your
stomping
ground
and
hear
about
this,
and
we
as
land
board
members,
often
get
questions
about
the
land
management,
and
so
I
think
you
did
a
really
good
job
very
professional,
and
thanks
for
all
you
do
on
our
behalf.
C
C
I
guess
one
of
the
things
maybe
to
help
myself
and
other
board
members
is
having
an
understanding
of
the
distributions.
After
you
get
the
receipts
from
the
cells.
What
takes
place
I
mean,
what's
the
distribution?
What's
the
allocation?
That's
divided
out,
I
mean
how
much
goes
back
and
then
on
slide
nine.
It
talks
about
these
restoration
service
contracts,
and
I
don't
know
if
those
are
those
are
over
the
whole
time
frame
of
the
project
or,
if
that's
a
one
fiscal
year.
G
Do
that
it
would
be
helpful
for
me
if
you
tie
slide
eight
to
slide
nine
because
sliding
you
know
if
that
would
be
helpful.
I
guess
my
question
is
tell
us
what
we
can
do,
either
individually
or
collectively,
at
the
board,
to
scale
this
up
we're
a
long
way
from
getting
to
six
million
acres,
we're
a
long
way
from
getting
to
1.8
million
acres.
What
are
the,
what
are
the
impediments
to
even
getting
fractionally
closer
to
that.
V
Members
of
the
board,
you
know
there
are
various
bottlenecks
in
the
system
and
doing
more
agency
staff
is
a
bottleneck
at
times
for
both
idl
and
our
federal
partners.
V
G
I
was
under
the
impression
that
both
gna
and
shared
stewardship
that
we
were
supposed
to
get
our
way
through
nepa
faster,
because
the
state
and
the
state
contractors
could
do
it
faster
is
that
I
mean
that
was
the
whole
genesis
of
both
those
programs,
because
the
feds
weren't
getting
their
work
done.
We
were
on
dollar
state
land.
We
could
get
it
done
faster.
What
what's
the
problem.
V
Governor
members
of
the
board
that,
as
you
saw
on
the
on
the
one
slide
there,
the
pie
chart
that
that's.
That
is
really
an
important
way
that
we're
helping
is
through
contracted
resources
to
help
with
project
planning.
V
G
V
Governor
members
of
the
board,
I
I
would
say
that
the
biggest
hang
up
is
just
the
capacity,
probably
on
the
federal
side
as
well
as
as
on
our
on
the
state
side.
You
know,
there's
just
only
so
many
people
available
to
take
on
those
projects
and
move
them
forward
and
nipah
in
project
planning
isn't
really
in
our
wheelhouse.
So
we
are
relying
on
assistance
from
our
partners
in
that
area.
Okay,.
S
Just
add
that
a
little
bit
govern
members
of
the
land
board
on
doing
the
cross
boundary
work,
one
of
the
additional.
Besides
the
limited
pool
of
operators
and
contractors,
the
additional
hang
up
for
us
is
finding
counties,
entities
that
can
take
our
grant
money
or
our
state's
shared
stewardship
funds
and
put
it
on
the
ground.
S
C
For
a
comment,
I
just
want
to
say:
congratulations
on
being
self-sustaining.
I
think
that's
the
thing
that
we
looked
at.
We
had
great
partnership
from
all
levels,
including
the
private
industrial
services,
as
well
as
the
state
putting
in
seed
money
to
get
this,
and
it's
great
to
see
that
we're
at
that
point.
So,
along
with
the
other
board
members
kudos
and
continue
to
what
we
can
do
to
help
as
individuals
and
as
board
members
to
help
continue
this
process.
B
Governor,
thank
you
general,
my
thanks
as
well,
but
I
did
want
to
make
record
of
the
fact
that
there
was
a
interruption
with
the
idaho
public
tv
stream.
During
this
presentation.
It
was
only
a
couple
of
minutes
that
use
the
zoom
presentation
and
the
and
the
youtube
were
both
up
and
running.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
record
of
that.
This
is
not
an
action
item.
No
action
was
taken,
nor
would
action
be
taken.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
record
of
that.
J
Well,
thank
you,
governor
and,
and
I
do
appreciate
the
work
of
both
john
and
era
and
our
state
forester,
and
their
leadership
that
they've
they've
shown
coordinating
through
all
of
this
across
the
landscape
and
really
getting
at
the
treatments
that
we
need
on
the
ground,
which
goes
hands
in
hand,
hand
in
hand
with
the
the
fire
suppression
piece.
So
thank
you
for
your
support
for
these
programs.
Okay,
now
on
to
tab
9
on
the
information
agenda,
this
is
a
presentation
from
the
office
of
the
attorney
general.
J
We
have
daryl
early
here
and
the
university
of
idaho
regarding
the
moral
act
and
the
use
of
the
caldwell
property
disposition
funds.
We
also
have.
I
want
to
recognize
president
greene
president
of
the
university
of
idaho
here
in
attendance,
so
welcome,
mr
president
and
and
governor.
I
can
turn
the
time
over
to
mr
early
darryl.
R
Governor
members
of
the
board
for
the
record
daryl
early
from
the
office
of
the
attorney
general
here
today,
to
give
you
a
brief
presentation,
I
know
how
much
you
love
to
listen
to
lawyers
talk,
so
I'm
going
to
try
and
keep
this
very
short
or.
R
I
appreciate
that
I,
this
is
a
brief
presentation
on
sort
of
the
legal
landscape
applicable
to
the
use
of
the
proceeds
from
the
sale
of
the
caldwell
property.
As
you'll
recall,
this
fall
the
board
authorized
and
the
department
executed
the
sale
of
some
land
out
in
caldwell
that
netted
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood
of
about
20
million
dollars.
That
is
money
that
is
now
held
in
the
land
bank
and
it
is
for
the
use
of
the
agricultural
college
endowments
fund.
R
This
presentation
is
to
give
you
the
legal
landscape
of
what
can
be
done
with
that
monies.
In
light
of
the
presentation
you're
going
to
hear
from
the
university
of
idaho
about
what
they
would
like
you
to
do
with
that
money,
this
presentation
will
essentially
address
three
fundamental
questions.
What
can
you
do
with
the
money?
Legally,
what
should
you
do
and
what
standards
apply
to
your
decision
making
and
then,
ultimately,
how
do
you
go
about
effectuating?
R
That
decision
I'll
give
you
a
brief
history
to
start
with
the
moral
act
of
1862
created
the
land-grant
colleges
and
provided
basically
that
for
each
member
of
congress,
senator
and
representative,
each
state
coming
into
the
union
would
receive
approximately
thirty
thousand
acres
in
land.
So
idaho,
upon
statehood
received
roughly
ninety
thousand
acres
in
land
for
the
benefit
of
the
university
of
or
the
agricultural
college,
which
ultimately
became
is
the
university
of
idaho.
R
The
moral
act
had
a
couple
of
key
pieces
in
it.
The
original
moral
act
provided
that
if
any
of
these
lands
were
sold,
the
proceeds
of
the
of
the
sale
of
those
lands
would
go
into
a
permanent
endowment
fund,
but
it
provided
that
10
percent
per
year
could
be
used
to
buy
or
purchase
sites
or
experimental
farms.
R
The
specific
language
says
accept
that
a
sum
not
exceeding
10
percent
upon
receipt
by
any
state
under
the
provisions
of
this
chapter
may
be
expended
for
the
purchase
of
lands
for
sites
or
experimental
farms
whenever
authorized
by
the
respective
legislators
of
said
states
and
then
further
it
provided
that
no
portion
of
said
fund
nor
the
interest
thereon
shall
be
applied
directly
or
indirectly
under
any
pretense
whatever
to
the
purchase,
erection,
preservation,
repair
of
any
building
or
buildings.
R
It
directs
that
the
state
board
of
land
commissioners
shall
provide
for
the
location,
protection,
sale
or
rental
of
all
lands
heretofore
or
which
may
hereafter
be
granted
by
the
by
the
or
acquired
by
the
state
from
the
general
government,
under
such
regulations,
as
may
be
prescribed
by
law
and
in
such
manner
as
will
secure
the
maximum
long-term
financial
return
to
the
institution
to
which
granted
those
documents.
Those
laws,
basically
are
the
fundamental
trust
documents
that
you
all
operate
under.
With
respect
to
these
lands,
and
this
decision
in
2007
congress
amended
the
admissions
bill.
R
It
did
not
amend
the
moral
act.
The
original
plan
was
to
actually
amend
the
moral
act,
but
when
it
got
back
to
congress,
apparently
it
ran
into
some
headwinds
in
terms
of
amending
the
actual
moral
act,
and
so
instead
they
amended
the
admissions
bill
of
idaho
to
allow
and
to
remove
the
limitations
that
I
just
spoke
of
with
respect
to
the
10
percent
cap
and
the
limitation
on
not
being
able
to
use
it
to
build
buildings.
R
R
But
the
trust
still
has
those
other
overlays
of
the
the
trust
responsibilities
to
manage
these
proceeds
for
the
maximum
long-term
benefit
of
the
institution
to
which
granted,
as
you'll
hear
from
in
a
few
moments
from
the
university
of
idaho,
the
university
would
like
to
use
some
proceeds,
some
some
or
all
of
the
proceeds
from
the
recently
completed
caldwell
property
that
are
now
in
the
land
bank
for
various
purposes
including-
and
I
think
the
majority
of
the
presentation
today
is
about
the
cafe
experimental
farm.
R
So
the
the
questions
are,
can
you
and
clearly
the
law
has
been
made
such
that
you
can
spend
these
monies
to
purchase
land
or
build
buildings
for
a
site
or
an
experimental
farm
pursuant
to
acts
of
the
legislature?
Now
that
brings
up
one
fine
point
of
this.
The
question
that
we
looked
at
was
whether
or
not
the
legislature
has
authorized
the
expenditure
of
these
monies
in
any
way,
shape
or
form
the
general
law
of
idaho,
that's
passed
by
the
legislature
in
idaho
code.
R
R
The
language
of
the
moral
act
might
suggest
and
could
be
interpreted,
to
require
a
more
specific,
specific
piece
of
legislation
directing
your
actions
with
respect
to
a
specific
purchase,
and
in
that
regard,
we
note
that
house
bill
in
the
2007
legislative
session
house
bill
325
specifically
authorized
the
expenditure
of
appropriated
funds
and
also
spoke
about
the
board's
authority
to
use
proceeds
to
build.
What
was
then
referred
to
as
the
I
believe.
R
It's
called
the
cles,
the
center
for
livestock
and
environmental
studies,
which
is
basically
the
as
I
understand
the
predecessor
to
what
we
now
talk
about
as
as
cafe
so
with
respect
to
cafe
and
projects
associated
with
that.
It's
my
belief
that
we
have
specific
legislative
authorizations.
So
we
don't
have
to
rely
on
that
general
authority
under
58133.
R
It
might
be
prudent
if
there
are
other
projects
and
and
we've
in
in
staff
conversations
had
some
discussions
that
perhaps
the
university
might
have
other
ideas
for
other
places
to
spend
some
of
this
money.
R
It
might
be
prudent
to
look
at
that
issue
and
discuss
whether
or
not
specific
legislative
authority
might
be
appropriate
if
we
decide
if
the
board
decides
to
use
some
of
these
proceeds
for
something
other
than
cafe.
R
G
G
Can
what's
your
opinion,
and
I
think
I
could
find
some
emails
from
clive
if
I
could
go
back
15
years
into
my
records
about
where
that
line
is.
R
R
R
We
have
the
ability
now
to
build
buildings,
what
kind
of
buildings
and
for
what
purposes,
I
think,
is
still
governed
by
that
sites.
An
experimental
farms
piece
of
this,
my
understanding
from
what
the
preview
I've
seen
of
the
presentation.
The
university
is
formulating
specific
proposals
that
it
will
ultimately
bring
back
that
the
reason
we're
on
the
information
agenda
today
is
because
they
don't
have
specific
proposals
today,
but
we
will
have
to
answer
that
question
at
that
time.
G
I
guess
my
question
for
the
rest
of
the
board
is:
how
do
we
rather
than
say?
Oh
you
know
you
can't
do
that.
What
how
do
we
where's
the
moral
act
challenge
line
that
we
can
say
with
great
confidence
you
can
go
up
to
here?
G
R
That
will
ultimately
be
the
question
that
we
have
to
resolve
when
we
receive
the
specific
proposals
from
the
university
as
to
exactly
what
they
are
asking
you
to
spend
this
money
on
the
easy
one
is
buy
some
land
that
could
be
what
they
ask
from
you.
Another
could
be,
I
think
they
call
it
the
discovery
center,
which
is
an
interpretive
center
or
some
something
like
that
is
that
a
site
or
an
experimental
farm
is
that
within
the
meaning
of
the
moral
act.
G
R
Governor
thanks
daryl
and
that's
that's.
The
the
use
of
their
other
funds
is
by
the
state
board
of
education
and
and
the
board
of
trustees
and
and
other
statutes
that
govern
how
their
monies
are
used,
which
is
outside
your
purview.
So
the
the
second
question
really
comes
back
to
the
question
of.
Should
you
use
this
money
for
this
purpose?
R
So
the
question
you
have
before
you
as
a
matter
of
the
should
you
do
this
is:
is
it
in
the
best
interest
of
the
institution,
the
university
of
idaho,
to
use
these
monies
for
in
the
long
term?
And
it's
important
to
note
that
this
is
the
long-term
issue.
It's
not
the
term.
It
is
long
term
and
secondly,
that
it's
you
know
it's
not
the
endowment
per
se
in
in
the
sense
of
you
know.
We
look
at
these.
R
We
often
talk
about
these
as
the
endowments,
but
the
actual
language
of
the
constitution
says
the
institution
to
which
granted.
So
I
think
it
is
fair
to
talk
about
the
long-term
interests
of
the
university
of
idaho
and
the
final
point
in
the
and
a
major
component
of
this
decision
is:
it
is
your
decision.
It
is
not
the
university's
decision
to
decide
what
is
in
its
best
interest.
They
can
provide
you
that
information.
They
can
make
their
recommendations
to
you
and
and
and
seek
your
approval
on
that.
R
So
the
question
you
face
is
whether
these
proposed
projects
that
you'll
hear
about
will
be
in
the
best
long-term
financial
return
or
promote
long-term
financial
return
to
the
institution
to
which
granted
and
then
finally,
the
question
about
how
to
do
this,
and
that
comes
back
to
the
question.
It's
it's
intertwined
with
both
your
fiduciary
responsibility
and
with
the
legal
authorities
we
have.
The
moral
act
basically
allows
you
to
purchase
this
these
lands
or
erect
these
buildings
for
sites
or
experimental
farms.
R
I
think
it's
fair
to
interpret
that
language
to
imply
that
the
lands
or
the
experimental
farms
can
be
purchased
for
the
use
of
the
university.
The
act
doesn't
specifically
say
that
it
just
says
four
sites
or
experimental
farms.
It
doesn't
say
for
the
use
of
the
school.
It's
not
expressed
that
way,
but
I
think
it's
a
fair
interpretation
to
say
that
it
can
be
purchased
for
their
use
and
under
such
an
interpretation,
you
could
authorize
the
use
of
the
lands
without
compensation.
R
If
you
make
the
determination
that
that
is
in
the
best
long-term
interests
of
the
institution
to
wish
granted
that
in
turn,
talk,
you
know
comes
full
circle
to
ask
you.
What
is
it
you're
being
asked
to
do,
and
is
it
the
right
thing
to
do?
For
example,
as
you
all
know,
we
have
been
in
the
business
for
the
last
number
of
years
of
getting
rid
of
split
estates,
buildings
on
lands
that
are
owned
by
somebody
else,
our
cottage
sites,
we've
determined
that
that's
not
a
great
relationship
to
have.
R
If
the
university
proposes
to
ask
you
to
spend
money,
to
build
a
building
on
land
that
is
owned
by
somebody
else.
That
would
be
a
question
that
you
would
have
to
ask
yourself.
Is
it
in
the
best
interests
long
term
to
own
a
building
on
land?
You
don't
own
a
depreciating
asset
on
land
that
you
don't
own
or
is
it?
Is
there
a
better
use
of
this
money?
G
Daryl,
if,
when
we
sold
the
240
acres,
is
that
right,
240
acres
280
we
sold
the
280.
I
assume
was
the
revenue
off
of
that.
Some
farmer
was
leasing.
It
was
it
going
into
the
truck
into
the
end
of
the
earnings
reserve
and
then,
ultimately,
or
or
was
it
going
right
to
the
beneficiary.
G
Going
on
mark's
telling
me
it
went
right
to
them,
so
we've
already
crossed
over
the
line
that
we
have
with
all
our
other
beneficiaries
where
that
revenue
comes
in
to
earnings,
reserve
or
the
land
bank.
So
the
the
the
university
of
idahos
lands
in
their
trust,
but
that's
different
than
some
of
their
other
lands.
They've
got
like
the
land
down
a
mountain
home.
Does
that
go
directly
to
them
or
does
that
go
into
the
earnings
reserve
and
thus,
eventually
the
trust.
R
Yes
and
many
many
many
years
ago,
an
instrument
was
executed
that
granted
the
university
of
idaho
an
easement
to
use
that
land
and
it
and
it
had
a
nominal
payment.
So
they
basically
had
an
easement
to
use
that
land
and
then
they,
as
I
understand
it
once
they
quit
using
it
themselves,
started
leasing
it
and
collecting
the
revenues
from
that
going.
R
The
easement's
been
extinguished
by
virtue
of
the
sale
of
the
land,
so
whatever
happened
in
the
past
and
to
get
sort
of
the
point
whatever
happened
in
the
past
is
what
happened
in
the
past.
The
decision
you
have
before
you
today
is
to
make
this
decision
based
upon
the
trust
instruments
that
you
have
in
front
of
you.
It
would
be
good.
G
For
the
board
to
know
out
of
the
portfolio
of
all
the
real
estate,
the
university
of
idaho
has-
and
I
have
that
somewhere
also,
how
much
of
it
goes
to
them
directly
or
how
much
that
filters
through
the
endowment,
the
earnings
reserve,
like
all
the
other,
and
then
I
I
had
that
at
one
time,
but
it's
probably
with
clive's
emails
somewhere.
R
Governor
governor,
I
think
that's
would
be
a
proven
thing.
My
understanding
I
mean
the
university
clearly
has
land
that
is
acquired
with
non-moral
act
was
granted
and
acquired,
in
other
words,.
R
Exactly
and
so
we
have
these
different
types
of
ownership.
I
can't
say
specifically
because
this
is
something
probably
could
get
some
assistance
from
idl,
but
to
the
extent
that
we
have
lands
that
are
moral
act
lands,
the
revenue
should
be
any
revenue
from
those
lands
should
be
going
back
to
the
the
ultimately
managed
by
this
board
as
a
trustee,
whether
it's
put
in
the
permanent
fund
or
or
used
for
some
other
purpose
under
the
under
the
relevant
laws.
B
B
B
G
R
And
that
is
the
point
of
the
reason
why
this
is
on
the
information
agenda
today,
because
in
discussions
with
the
university,
it's
clear
that
they
have
some
specific
ideas
in
mind,
but
they
had
not
formulated
those
into
fine
points
yet,
and
so
I
think
we'll
hear
from
the
good
folks
from
the
university
today
more
about
that.
I'm
just
here
to
provide
that
legal
landscape.
R
Again,
you
can
also
make
the
decision.
You
know
that
that
that
leasing,
the
land
is
in
the
best
interest.
So
again,
this
is
your
discretion
to
make
that
determination
based
upon
that
standard
of
long-term
return
to
the
institution
to
which
granted.
U
You
governor
board
members-
I
won't
you
know,
take
too
much
of
your
time
here,
but
I'm
scott
green
for
the
record
president
of
the
university
of
idaho
and
I
am
joined
by
our
leaders
of
our
college
of
agriculture
and
life
science,
who
will
share
our
vision
for
building
on
our
university's
legacy
of
supporting
idaho
agriculture.
U
The
university
of
idaho
has
long
been
a
driver
of
agriculture
in
the
state.
The
idaho
agriculture
experiment
station
opened
in
1892
before
the
university
welcomed
any
of
its
first
students
to
moscow,
and
since
then,
we've
opened
research,
extension
and
education
centers
across
the
state
and
met
the
needs
of
idaho
industry
and
private
citizens
through
our
research
and
outreach.
U
The
center
for
agriculture,
food
and
the
environment,
or
cafe,
is
our
newest
center
and
will
be
the
country's
largest
experimental,
dairy
and
farm
complex
located
in
the
magic
valley.
Cafe
will
be
a
leader
in
addressing
water
usage
and
environmental
quality
challenges,
enabling
the
sustained
growth
of
our
dairy
livestock,
cropland
and
food
processing
industries.
U
We've
developed
a
plan
for
the
center
that
will
result
in
a
in
dynamic
research,
training
education
to
develop
solutions
to
our
state's
complex
challenges,
and
our
students
will
benefit
by
having
access
to
a
world-class
facility
where
they'll
gain
hands-on
experience.
Working
with
the
latest
agricultural
technologies
and
idaho
industry
will
gain
access
to
the
latest.
Advancements
in
research
and
agricultural
practices
shared
through
our
extension
network
and
the
state
stands
to
gain
from
increased
agricultural
productivity
and
sustainability.
U
U
We
ask
that
you
invest
in
the
future
of
the
university
of
idaho
and
our
state's
farms
and
ranches
by
supporting
our
plans
for
the
center,
so
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
mark
mcguire.
Our
associate
dean
of
research
and
director
of
the
idaho
agriculture
experiment
station
who's,
going
to
share
more
about
cafe
with
you.
B
L
Governor
commissioners,
it's
my
pleasure
to
be
here
this
morning.
I'm
mark
mcguire,
the
director
of
the
idaho
agricultural
experiment
station,
as
in
this
position
as
a
part
of
the
cows
leadership
who
manages
the
research
and
extension
centers
otherwise
known
as
our
experimental
farms
throughout
the
state.
I'm
sorry
the
map
kind
of
got
cut
off
there,
but
this
map
shows
our
research
and
extension
centers
that
go
essentially
across
the
entire
breadth
and
width
of
idaho
and
really
try
to
represent
the
various
climates
and
growing
conditions
to
support
agriculture
and.
L
Well
it
it,
there
are
people
there
governor,
so
it
really
maybe
doesn't
reflect.
L
L
So
one
one
highlight
of
this
is
that
we
have
a
lot
of
land
for
potato
production,
sugar
beets,
wheat
and
barley,
but
we
really
aren't
necessarily
reflective
of
the
major
commodity
in
idaho,
and
that
is
milk
and
dairy.
And
so
you
know,
if
you're
not
aware,
the
dairy
industry
is
number
three
in
the
nation.
It
is
the
top
commodity
in
idaho
and
we
have
100
cows
and
they're
in
moscow.
L
So
it
has
been
described
that
we're
today,
talking
about
idaho,
cafe
the
center
for
agriculture,
food
and
the
environment.
It's
a
regional
model
that
includes
a
research
dairy
in
our
experimental
farm
in
rupert.
It
includes
a
discovery
center
at
the
crossroads
of
84
and
93,
which
is
an
outreach
center,
but
also
has
some
laboratory
facilities
and
we
hope-
and
then
a
food
processing
pilot
planet
can
collaboration
with
the
college
of
southern
idaho.
Today,
I'm
only
going
to
focus
on
the
dairy
portion,
the
experimental
farm
portion.
L
We
have
approval
for
the
design
and
recently
go
out
to
construction
bid
for
the
research
dairy
at
rupert.
The
design
is
through
keller
associates
and
the
construction
will
be
in
mackelvein
companies
to
idaho
companies
that
are
leading
us
in
the
design
of
this
experimental
research,
dairy
that
has
it
while
it's
a
commercial
dairy
in
many
cases,
it
is
an
experimental
form
because
we
have
to
be
able
to
figure
out
how
to
look
forward
to
the
future
and
meet
the
needs
of
the
the
dairy
industry
and
agriculture
in
in
general.
L
This
experimental
dairy
will
be
located
on
640
acres
north
of
rupert,
and
it
is
on
land
that
is
was
purchased
by
the
university
in
march
of
2019,
there's
320
acres,
two
pivots
to
the
north
are
owned
by
the
university
of
idaho
and
the
two
pivots
to
the
south
were
purchased
in
partnership
with
idaho
dairyman's
association,
they're
owned
by
the
ida.
L
A
quick
overview
shows
the
design
of
the
the
current
design
of
the
facilities,
which
include
dry
land,
space
dry
lot,
space
for
dairy
cows,
which
reflects
the
dairy
industry
and
across
ventilated
barn,
which
also
reflects
the
future
of
the
dairy
industry
in
idaho.
L
And
I'm
going
to
drill
down
into
looking
at
the
phased
approach
that
we
have
for
the
development
of
this
facility
phase.
One
is
the
building
of
a
milk
milking
parlor
that
will
support
milking
2
000
cows
a
day
this
parlor
is
again
I'll.
Show
you
shortly
has
a
combination
of
state
funds
and
university
funds,
and
it
will
go
out
to
construction
bid
here
in
a
month.
L
There
are
also
excavation
that
will
be
necessary
at
the
site
to
ensure
that
we
have
the
appropriate
grading
for
the
dry,
lots,
calving
and
research,
barn
and
the
manure
handling
system,
which
is
critical
to
not
only
the
functioning
of
the
dairy,
but
also
to
the
research
opportunities
that
are
there
to
really
conduct
experiments
on
the
opportunities
for
economic
value
for
the
dairy
industry
and
to
examine,
if
you
will,
the
nutrient
qualities
that
would
enhance
agronomic
production
and
potentially
improve
soil.
L
Carbon
and
soil
health,
the
cross,
ventilated
barn
for
approximately
1200
cows,
is,
is
currently
designed
in
phase
3
of
construction
also
note
there
that
there
are
research
ponds
and
manure,
a
manure
processing
facility
that
is
designed
so
that
it
can
be
plug
and
play
that
we
can
test
out
new
technologies
for
the
industry
to
determine
whether
or
not
it
has
economic
value.
A
methane
digester
could
be
installed.
L
It
does
not
have
to
be
those
research
ponds,
though,
are
critical
to
examining
whether
or
not
we
have
the
appropriate
liners
to
make
sure
that
there
are
no
nutrients
being
leaked
out
of
ponds,
and
this
is
really
in
partnership
with
idaho
dairyman's
association.
They
really
demand
it
so
that
we
can
get
the
proper
information
to
guide
best
management
practices.
L
As
I
said,
the
university
is
already
engaged
in
the
building
of
the
milking
system
we
have
contracted
with
de
la
val
in
total
dairy
solutions
out
of
jerome
for
a
60-cal
rotary
parlor.
This
is
a
the
most
current
experimental
parlor.
If
you
will
from
de
la
val,
and
so
it
will
be
the
forefront
of
our
milking
system,
it
will
be
housed
in
this
six
million
dollar
estimated
cost
of
the
milking
barn.
This
is
really
just
a
commercial
dairy
facility.
At
this
point,.
L
L
L
They
just
walk
right
on
there
take
their
little
one
trip
around
and
it's
like
hey.
That
was
a
fun
day.
You
know,
so
it
is
amazing
to
watch
cows
enter,
and
you
can't
quite
see
it
in
this
facility,
but
I'd
be
more
happy
to
have
you
sit
in
the
observation,
deck
and
watch
those
cows
enter
and
exit.
It's
really
a
fun
experience
yeah.
So
this
barn
has
been
designed
specifically
for
this
rotary
parlor
estimated
cost
of
six
million
dollars
again
is
going
out
to
bid
in
about
a
month.
L
It
is
essentially
a
commercial
milking,
parlor
milking
system,
but
it
will
have
some
additional
electronics
and
animal
id
that
will
allow
us
to
do
some
extra
experiments
tied
to
milk
yield
and
milk
composition.
L
Besides
the
milking
system,
we
are
already
conducting
a
fair
bit
of
research
on
those
existing
pivots
that
are
there.
This
research
is
really
tied
to
understanding
the
flow
of
nutrients
through
the
soils
and
over
the
past
three
years,
since
obtaining
ownership
of
that
land
and
also
on
the
ida
property.
L
The
soils
has
been
extensively:
sampled
on
a
0.6
acre
grid
to
analyze
the
chemistries,
the
depth
of
bedrock,
the
nutrients
that
are
there
before
there's
any
manure
application
or
manure
by-product
application.
L
The
irrigation
pivots
have
also
been
upgraded
substantially,
so
that
this
facility
will
be
a
sensor
centric
facility
for
precision
agriculture.
We
are
going
to
have
real-time
information
on
evaporation
of
water
from
plants,
soil,
moisture
and
be
able
to
target
precisely
the
delivery
of
water
so
that
we
can
protect
that
important
natural
resource
for
idaho.
L
So
not
only
the
dairy
but
those
lands
are
going
to
be
used
extensively
and
are
being
used
extensively
as
an
experimental
farm.
L
So,
just
to
quickly
summarize,
the
development
of
cafe
there
currently
is
640
acres
at
the
property.
The
university
owns,
320
acres,
the
idaho
dairy
men's
association
owns
two
pivots
or
320
acres.
I
will
note
there
is
an
agreement
with
idaho
dairyman's
association
that
that
those
320
acres
will
be
donated
to
the
university.
When
cafe
is
operational
and
the
definition
of
operational
is
we
milk
100
cows,
30
days
at
that
facility?
L
We
are
working
on
those
construction
improvements.
They
will.
We
will
have
a
fully
operational
experimental
dairy
that
will
be
the
largest
research
dairy
in
the
united
states
on
the
basis
of
the
number
of
cows.
Now
that
may
sound
extravagant,
but
realize
that
we
have
to
have
enough
cows
to
to
be
scientifically
valid.
L
So
we
need
to
have
a
substantial
number
of
cows
to
do
some
of
the
work
with
regards
to
animal
health,
animal
welfare,
as
well
as
to
make
sure
that
we
can
replicate
information
as
far
as
the
manure
process
or
air
emissions
and
in
particular
our
focus
will
be
on
the
dry.
Land
dry
lot
housed
cows
on
the
emissions
that
are
there,
where
there's
really
very
poor
information.
L
In
the
literature
to
guide
federal
authorities
in
the
regulation
again,
our
experimental
dairy
waste
system
will
be
the
most
advanced,
so
we
can
do
plug
and
play
and
really
address
the
sustainability
of
the
dairy
industry.
And,
finally,
we
will
be
working
on
precision
agriculture
on
that
experimental
farm
for
all
the
commodities
that
are
present.
L
Forest
returns
to
date,
we've
received
nearly
a
million
dollars
in
gifts
from
industry,
for
the
sustainable
growth
of
agriculture,
dairy
food
processing
sector
and
that's
tied
to
cafe.
L
One
of
the
major
donors
is
anheuser-busch
they've,
given
a
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
at
this
time,
to
really
focus
in
on
malt
barley
production,
where
idaho
is
the
number
one
grower
in
the
nation,
why
are
they
doing
that?
It's
because
they
want
to
make
sure
that
they
can
say
that
the
malt
barley
that's
grown
in
idaho
is
the
most
sustainable
possible,
and
so
we
need
to
talk
tie
together.
L
Not
only
dairy
manure,
commercial
fertilizer
with
malt
barley
production
in
the
rotations
that
are
typical
over
in
southeastern
idaho
university
faculty
have
received
grants
of
over
13
million
dollars
in
the
past
three
years
were
either
directly
or
indirectly
tied
to
efforts
at
cafe.
These
grants
will
only
become
more
readily
available
when
we
actually
have
cows
on
the
facility,
and
we
can
utilize
those
guys
for
research.
Those
grants
are
restricted.
Funds
for
specific
research
purposes,
though,
and
cannot
be
used
for
building
buildings.
L
Enrollment
growth
is,
is
a
critical
part
of
cafe
where
having
an
experimental
dairy
in
rupert
will
attract
more
students.
Those
grants
immediately
have
already
employed
30,
more
graduate
students
for
their
research
purposes,
and
they
also
imply
undergraduates
as
research
assistants.
So
we
will
have
a
substantial
amount
of
education
if
you
will
on
site
that
is
coincident
to
the
experiments
that
will
be
conducted
at
cafe.
L
L
The
top
line
is
the
purchase
of
the
land,
which
was
a
partnership
between
the
university
again
owning
the
two
north
pivots
and
idaho
daramen's
association
and
the
the
family
who
sold
the
land
as
a
part
of
donation
phase.
One
is
that
milking
system
and
barn,
and
it
also
coupled
with
excavation
of
the
site
to
prepare
for
the
dry
lots
for
the
manure
handling
system,
etc.
L
Phase
two,
which
would
ultimately
get
us
cows
on
site,
is
the
final
development
of
those
dry
lots:
shade
structures,
feed
lanes
the
manure
system,
which
is
critical
for
the
research
that
will
be
done
there.
The
feed
preparation
area,
a
calving
barn
and
in
the
farm
office,
which
will
have
classroom
potential
and
outreach
potential,
but
will
be
mostly
directed
towards
those
researchers
that
are
housed
on
site.
L
We
have
approximately
a
13
million
dollar
estimated
cost
there
of
which
we
have
about
five
million
dollars
in
donations
towards
that.
So
we
have
a
deficit
of
about
eight
million
dollars
for
phase
two
completion.
L
At
this
point
in
phase
three:
we're
looking
at
a
cross-ventilated
barn
and
equipment
storage
at
a
cost
of
about
10
million
dollars,
and
then
at
phase
four,
we
should
purchase
some
additional
land
in
the
area
for
nutrient
management.
A
conservative
estimate
is
that
our
the
640
acres
is
approximately
six
million
dollars
at
this
point
in
time.
L
So
what
is
the
impact
of
the
sale
of
caldwell
r
e
center?
On
the
college
of
ag
endowment
distributions?
The
sale
was
23
and
a
quarter
million
dollars
from
the
endowment
officials.
Our
estimated
annual
distribution
will
be
five
percent,
representing
an
increase
to
the
college
of
ag
of
approximately
1.2
million
dollars
a
year.
L
If
we
take
into
mind
here
what
is
the
maximum
long-term
financial
return
to
the
college
of
ag,
there
may
be
an
alternative,
and
that
is
that
there's
it
could
be
a
partnership
with
the
land
board
to
invest
directly
in
those
facilities.
G
B
C
Did
you
have
a
question
just
more
of
a
disclaimer,
maybe
with
the
secretary
of
state
that
we've
spent
a
lot
of
time
with
the
little
black
and
whites
and
also,
I
guess,
disclaimer,
having
hauled
milk
and
milk
for
a
long
time
just
that
disclaimer
that
I'll
keep
my
bias
and
and
be
independent.
My
thoughts
here
having
hauled
milk
for
another
college
and
all
their
milk
actually
from
their
research,
dairy
at
utah
state
up
to
their
creamery,
so
does.
G
G
All
right,
well,
I
think,
mark
I
think,
daryl.
You
got
the
tone
from
daryl
some
of
the
issues
that-
and
I
think
general
wasden
alluded
to
that
about
what
the
next
steps
are.
So
it
was
convenient
you
needed
24
million
and
we
had
24
million.
I
know
that
that
didn't
go
by
me
so.
