we've seen federal agencies go after farmers simply for changing crops or improving their irrigation systems with absolutely no authority to do so. the exemption on activities in section 404-f-1 of the clean water act reads as follows. normal farming, agriculture and ranching activities such as plowing, seeding, cultivating, minor drainage, harvesting and water conservation practices is not prohibited or otherwise subject to regulation. madam chair, this is clear as it can be. these activities are exempt from regulation, however according to the corps, permitting guidance to farmers and ranchers who are qualified, these exempt activities must be a part of an established ongoing farming, civil culture or ranching operation. an operation is no longer established when the area on hich it was conducted has been moved to another use or lay idle. in the army corps' own words, if the current use of property is for growing corn, the exemption does not apply for future activities involve conversion to orchards or vineyards. no where in the law does a requirement that farmwork be ongoing or establishe

irrigation and water supplies in the beaver head valley by extending the district's contract while an updated contract is pending approval by the montana water court. this contract extension is necessary since the montana court system is in the middle of conducting a necessary state-required review of the new contract between the irrigation district and the united states. this bill does not prejudice the outcome of that examination, but keeps in place existing 1958 contract so area farmers and ranchers in the beaver head valley of montana have water supply certainty for nearly 60,000 acres. the legislation has no costs to the federal government and is based on congressional precedence. in fact, congress has extended this 1958 contract a number of times, since an extension provides an irrigation district with an absolute right under federal law to negotiate a new contract with the bureau of reclamation. this bill simply adds six additional years to the last extension, thereby extending the 1958 contract until december 31, 2019, or until a new contract is executed. in this bill, there's hard work that's being done in montana. i especially want too thank mr. o -- want to thank mr. horitzko for working with me on this
