TUDCUM FIELD

Its limits are:
To the East: Route 201 which goes through the towns of Rodeo, Tudcum, Pismanta and the Jachal river.
To the West: Coconta Mountains
To the South: Gañizul Farm
To the North: Colaguil Creek and Jachal River

Within the field it self, there are two roads:

1. One that goes to Remo creek and it is 30 Km long approximately
2. The other one goes from Tudcum to the Republic of Chile (to a place known as La Hedionda); going through Priest Valley. This one is about 60Km long.

The most important highways near by are:
Route 201, which runs parallel to the field’s East side.
Route 150, which runs from The Flowers to Black Waters, 10 Km from the Chilean boarder.

The fields counts with important water channels with a rate of flow of about 6 m3/sec. Most of them start and end within the field so the uses of the water do not require any special permit.

A field of its size, its type of weather and its geographical location, is undoubtedly perfect for cattle farming.

To ration the exploitation, special areas for hay farming can be utilize which will make a complete cattle production cycle possible.

An estimated 4,000 to 5,000 heads of cattle can be sustained with its natural resources.

Taking into consideration the field’s surface with access to water, it is very much suitable for agriculture. With little inversion, about 3,000 hectares can be setup with an irrigation system. About 1,000 hectares of intensive and fine cultivations can produce equivalent or even superior profits to that of cattle farming.

From a mineralogy point of view, the area counts with important iron, copper and in less proportion, wolfram that has a high strategic value.

STUDIES DONE
There are certified water studies.
