Ranchers, water trust strike fish deal
JO H N DAY (AP) - A deal
£ 'i
i between local ranchers and the
Oregon Water Trust will mean
more water for Spring chinook
and summer steelhead in the
Middle Fork John Day River.
Pat and Hedy Voigt are third-
generation ranchers on the
Middle Fork John Day River.
They own the Austin Ranch, for
which this project was named.
The river winds through the
property and provides habitat
for waterfowl and is a critical
spawning ground for spring
chinook. The Voigts use water
from the Middle Fork and sur
rounding streams to irrigate 640
acres for cattle.
T h e Voigts and the trust
made a deal that shortens the
Voigt's irrigation season and
keeps water in the Middle Fork
for fish.
The trust paid the Voights an
undisclosed sum to stop irrigat
ing on July 20 each year in per
petuity. This will keep an addi
tional 10 cubic feet o f water per
second in the river when it is
needed most.
Pat Voigt said this portion o f
the river is the last place that isn't
controlled by fish interests. But
he and his wife wanted to take
action now rather than under
pressure.
Each September, hundreds
o f spring ch in o o k salm on
spawn in the river on the Aus
tin Ranch and downstream on
wildlife preserves owned by the
Warm Springs Tribes and The
Nature Conservancy and on U.S.
Forest Service land.
The Austin Ranch Project
will increase available fish habi
tat and improve water quality by
adding cool water to the river.
c W e wanted to do something
to everybody's satisfaction,” Pat
Voigt said. “We think we'll be
running about 20 percent fewer
catde, but that still works for us
economically. At the same time,
w e're pu tting a sig n ifican t
amount o f water back instream
to do something for the re
source.”
“I give OW T a lot o f credit,”
Pat Voigt said. “They came to
us with an attitude o f wanting
to help and they displayed a
great deal o f respect for agricul
ture.”
