DECISION ON REHEARING
The plaintiff has filed a petition for rehearing in which he disagrees with the farm use value of $15.00 per acre found by the court for the 197 acres of bottomland. He points out that 68.34 acres of the bottom-land consists of partially unusable land such as swampy areas, drainage ditches and brush land to which the defendant had assigned a farm use value of $2,086 for the 68.34 acres which is less than the $15.00 per acre found by the court. He accepts the values used by the defendant for part of the 68.34 acres but contends that the farm use value for 39.34 acres of the 68.34 acres should be less than the values used by the defendant.
*121The former decision of the court is modified to the extent that the farm use value of 68.34 acres of the bottomland is established at $2,086 as found by the defendant. The following are the farm use values for plaintiff’s 197 acres of bottomland:
68.34 acres bottomland $ 2,086
128.66 acres bottomland at $15.00 per acre $22,705
Total farm use value of 197 acres bottomland $24,791
The remainder of the petition for rehearing is without merit and is denied.
