IS IRRIGATION A PAYING
PROPOSITION?
State Rep. Tom Hartung, in support of irrigation projects,
proposed under the bonding system, has said, "I see more
promise in Oregon agriculture than in most other economic
development."
He stated that for every 10,000 acres made available for
farming of high-intensity crops nearly 1900 (nineteen hund
red) new jobs will be created.
It is plain to see who Is helping develop the country
provide jobs and lessen the shortage of food world-wide.
There must be a reason Inter-Valley Drilling Co. of Hepp
ner and La Grande, Oregon, drills and completes more irri
gation wells than any other contractor in Eastern Oregon.
Our satisfied customers are our best recommendation.
