From and after the effective date of this act, every person
owning or operating any well from which natural gas is produced,
sold or used off the premises on which such well is located shall
make available, from the production of such well, to the person or
persons engaged in agricultural activities upon such premises, if
requested to do so, sufficient gas for the operation of pumps
necessary for the pumping of such amount of water, produced from
wells on such premises, as may be necessary and proper for the
irrigation of such portion of said premises as may be devoted to the
growth of agricultural products or to pasture or orchard uses. Such
gas shall be made available for such use in preference to any other
use. The person at whose request the gas is furnished shall pay
therefor a reasonable price, not less than the price at which the
gas is sold at the wellhead, and the use shall be upon such
reasonable terms and conditions as will safeguard the owner or
operator of the well in his interests therein and in his off-
premises market for the gas produced therefrom.
