Under the proposed Phase II project, the Program Area will be expanded to a total of about 1.1 million acres, and a ranch for livestock will be added. The Phase II project will include the construction of 540 miles of roads, 1,700 miles of drainage ditches, 160 boreholes and 14 service centers, all of which would serve some 240,000 acres of arable land. Provision is also being made for the continuation of extension, credit and marketing services throughout the area under the two phases.
