Bruce Lovclin. executive director of
Northwest Irrigation Utilities, said
"F o r some 58.000 irrigation

represents an extremely significant
cost of doing business Any inc rease
in power rates would have had a
very damaging economic influence
on their ability to compete in
worldwide markets.“ Lovelin said
Northwest Irrigation U tilities

who serve a significant number of
the irrigators in the Northwest
The Bonneville POwcr Ad-
