I had a well drilled this morning. there are no other wells in my area but I thought I would gamble. Water rates prohibit even watering my trees. Drilling rig used airpressure to remove the material and sombody called the fire dept because of the dust blowing off the dry shale. I was looking for shallow water because I know there is no deep water so I stopped him at 100 foot, no moisture at all just dry shale at 100 ft. Driller pulled out, I told him I would fill the hole. I went to the house and ate lunch. Went back to fill it after lunch and I heard water splash, waited awhile and I heard something else fall into water. I got a 100 ft cord and tied a plastic bottle on it, dropped it in the well and pulled up a cup full of gray water. I then got an 8ft 2x2 board, tied it on the cord and let it down. I thought I could see how far the water came up on the stick. I tied a knot in the cord a 100 ft. When I pulled the stick up the whole board was wet plus 50ft of the cord. I ordered a $100 dolar submergable pump and thought I would see how much water I could pump. Any advise. I am hoping the well don't cave in before I can determine if it is worth fooling with. Any Advise?

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
