Allan: Paul said well, and my dad always said it was wise to visit other farms, see your own mistakes, learn from others mistakes, chew the rag a bit and maybe you'll both come out with a better idea.

I farmed in a climate wher we always had a 45" anual rainfall, on a sandy loam soil about 8' deep and pure gravel underneath. Water table was always at gravel level. That land would turn 500-50lb. bales of alfalfa hay per acre every season. We rotated with corn grown by cow manure and fixed nitrogen. This is a large continant, what works one place will not work elsewhere.

Since coming to YT I have learned something about tobacco farming with SA's in the south, peanut farming in Georgia, corn-soybean in the I states, contour farming in WA, no till, etc. Try as I will you drylanders are awfully tight liped about both irrigation and dryland farming. Remember discussion on here is about broadening our horisions. You seem to be of the opinion, if it didn't happen in NE, it's not worth mentioning.
