COMPOST, ARE IN SUPPORT OF THE BEARSON DAIRY EXPANSION. BEARSON DAIRY HAS BEEN WELL DESIGNED AND LOCATED TO MAINTAIN DRY PENS AND DRY MANURE WHICH ARE ESSENTIAL FOR MAKING COMPOST. BEARSON DAIRY HAS EXCELLENT NATURAL SOUTH SLOPE DRAINAGE. THE SLOPE TO THE SOUTH PERMITS COMPOSTING YEAR AROUND. • B.O.S.S. COMPOST HAS A MARKET FOR MORE COMPOST THEN BEARSON DAIRY WILL PRODUCE WITH THEIR EXPANSION. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO MENTION THAT THEIR FLY CONTROL IS WORKING WELL. THIS COULD BE ATTRIBUTED TO THEIR DAILY HARROWING OF THE CORRALS AND LACK OF HOLES IN THE CORRALS THAT BECOME WET AND /� BREED FLIES. P ' THE DAIRY HAS A GOOD SET-BACK FROM ANY OF THE ROADS AND IS ALMOST ONE HALF MILE FROM THE NEAREST HOUSE.

This letter is in support of that expansion. We are familiar with the Bearsons because they have been in the area for many years and we have sold them feed for their dairy cows. • They purchase their feed locally from many farmers, thus contributing to their local farm economy. Their dairy is always clean and well maintained and their grounds, equipment and fiscal management practices have always looked good to us.

It takes people like the Bearson family to face the challenge of expansion that keeps Colorado's dairy business a factor in the national fluid milk supply. During the past several years of a growing business relationship with the Bearson's, we have recognized and praised them for some significant management tools they have instituted in the handling of animal waste and fly abatement. The Bearsons are one of the pioneers in establishing a dairy manure compost program which along with a solid fly control program has aided in eliminating a problem before it starts. Over the past several years Weld County has issued many special use permits for dairy farm expansion. We feel the Commission should issue this same permit to the Bearson family thereby providing them the opportunity for future growth in the next millennium. Yours truly, Gerald F.

I know he has applied to operate a larger dairy. Being a dairyman myself I do not know or understand all rules and regulations you have to abide by other than producing clean, sanitary milk. ht is getting to be a little frustrating when you are trying to operate and the only way to operate economically is by expansion but with our city neighbors moving in with all their educated ideas, where does it stop. Personally I am going the other way and cutting back because I cannot tolerate all the headaches and stress. As far as a dairyman Daryl and the Bearson family run a very clean, well organized dairy. He has been at current size for quite eas sometime and I feel they are capable of handling and managing a larger dairy.

Our veterinary practice provides veterinary service and care for his diary cows . we have observed his operation as well as that of twenty other dairies along the front range . He has always ranked at the top of our' dairies for cleanliness of premises, health of cows and efficiency in operating his dairy. The general health of his cows Has beer. excellent and his somatic cell count (a measure of milk quality) has been very low, indicating good milk quality. If he has a problem with his dairy cows ne always has been very quick tc correct the problem. Hs has spent whatever time and monies it has required to make sure his cows were kept healthy and comfortable. He manages his .fly population by keeping his corrals clean all the time and utilizes a fogger routinely during the summer months. He was one of the first individuals in this part of the country to institute a composting operation for his manure wastes to keep down the odor and to control potential fly problems . He also has a lagoon system to control waste run off . Mr. Pearson has shown over the last twenty years that he has excellent management capabilities and has shown steady growth and improvement in his dairy operation. He has always strived to keep up with new technolojes and has implemented new technology whenever needed to improve his operation_ We would have no reservations in recommending him for an expansion permit for his dairy.
