Anyone have a irrigator? I'm toying with the idea. I have 70 acres of sandy hill land, the north 35 acres are gently rolling to flat, the south end has a huge hill in it. There is a natural gas pipeline runs thru the north end of the farm. I'm thinking about a center pivot for the north end of the farm. How much do they cost to purchase & install? Operating costs? How long to pay back? In a dry year, the sandy spots burn up. Yields vary from just over 100 bu/a in a dry year to 170 to 180 in a wet year. My house well is 340' deep, would the well for the irrigator have to be deeper? What about LP gas power supply over electric? Wondering about how far from the pipeline the well would need to be. To have the electric on the south side of the pipeline, electric would have to be trenched in over 1/4 mile. Wondering if it would be more economical to have a LP powered pump? The other side of this is, I'm 63, will I live long enough to see this paid for?? The pictures are from the top of my grain bin looking south toward the corn and west from the house, the bean field is where I would like to irrigate. Chris

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
