Farmer and his wife in front of their tent home. Vale-Owyhee rrigation project, Malheur County, Oregon. This is their first year on this land, in fact, they had been here only two months. This year they will devote time, energy and money to getting their land into cultivation. Livestock and chickens, etc. must also be accumulated before they will think too much about a house. This man has tried to get a FSA (Farm Security Administration) loan, but FSA judges that he had too little irrigatable land for a loan
