sustainable practices to improve his irrigation management which will 
make his farm operation viable for years to come.
  His conservation practices have included gated pipeline, water

  In addition to his farm operations, Mr. Davis raises Black Angus 
cattle, is a member of the Lamar Elks and is currently working on his
