jay, I can't speak for y'all up there in New York, But here in Texas where I am, at and around my area deep wells run in the 500 to 600 ft deep range. Most any well shallower than that had pump issues or went dry for a while or hasn't come back at all!
Check around with local well and pump companies who drill and service well and see what the average in the area is and if going deeper is a real solution. It may be time to put in a back up rain water collection system, If y'all have a large house or barn/shop 2500+ sq ft will capture about 5000 gallons of water on a 1 in rain. Put in about 40,000 gallons of storage and one can be just about water independent even in a Drought. And we Know What We are Talking About Here in Texas!
I have a Windmill here at the house with a 6000 gal storage tank, I had to buy water for 4 months from just before Christmas to Mid-March. My loads cost $100 for 2000 gal of water. So if I was in a position to have a larger storage built to capture rain water it would only take about $1000 to half fill the structure to get started and get a collection system going.
Anyway, check around, do your homework, follow the best advice for your area! Hope this helps!
Later,
John A.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c ...
