John Sims: Flood Irrigated (was 25% +/- alfalfa ten years ago w/ two cuttings. Now single crop, about 10%). Oats about 10-12%. Remainder is meadow grasses.

S.P. (Ramsey): Flood Irrigated except for about 80 acres sprinkled. Mostly meadow grasses similar to Hilliard East Fork. Sprinkled acreage is alfalfa.

V.H. Canal (on Pine Creek): Circular Pivots with some flood irrigation (10% +/-). Mostly alfalfa.

Quinn Bourne (on Smiths Fork): Flood Irrigated. Virtually all pasture meadow grasses.

Button Flat (on Smiths Fork): Flood Irrigated. Approx. 20% Meadow Grasses, 80% alfalfa and oats (rotated)

Emelle (on Smiths Fork): Flood Irrigated. Approx. 15% Meadow Grasses, 85% alfalfa and grains (primarlily oats – crops rotated)

Cooper (on Smiths Fork): ): Flood Irrigated. Virtually all pasture meadow grasses

Covey (on Smiths Fork) – NOTES: Covey Canal diversions are cumulative at each location
Covey (at Bruner Creek) - Covey serves Smiths Fork Irr. District
Covey (on Spring Creek)

Covey Canal serves the Smiths Fork Irrigation District. Irrigation application is mixed flood, handline, and side-roll sprinklers. Mixed crop types including meadow grasses, grain, and alfalfa.

Alonzo F. Sights: ): Approx. 60% is flood Irrigated, 40% sprinkled using hand lines and side-rolls. Approx. 40% alfalfa and grains (primarlily oats – crops rotated). Remainder is meadow grasses.

Oscar E. Snyder: Flood Irrigated. Virtually all pasture meadow grasses

Cook Brothers: Flood Irrigated. Virtually all pasture meadow grasses with small amount of alfalfa & oats.

Other Lower Wyoming Key Structures
