When I was growing up on my fathers farm back in the 70's, circular sprinkler systems where just starting out. I remember a few years ago seeing a map of the Texas panhandle and during the 70's there were a few dots on the map, 25 years later the dots where all over the map. Most systems today use low pressure as opposed to the water shooting out like an old fireboat, saves on water blowing away in the wind and evaperation.
which is good news considering that the aquifer (sp) is being depleted at an alarming rate.
Most farmers around here use the corners as CRP land, the govt. pays them not to farm it.
My dad's circle covered 200 acres and that covers alot of ground, but I've seen them cover only 30 acres or so.
