Hi Ron,

I'm clear out at the opposite corner of the state from you.

The farm is in the northwest corner of the state, south of Hay Springs on the Mirage Flats. If you are familiar with Marie Sandoz's novel "Old Jules", this is the location. Southwest of Gordon.

The farm lays flat as a pancake so that hills are not a concern and yes, we've been using 3-phase on all the wells for years now.

Since we are only pulling from 174' and it is set up to be low pressure with an end gun, we can get by with just a 50 horse motor (or so they tell me).

It’s nice that those days of the 90 hp motors and 90 lb head pressure are gone! Remember those old sprinklers throwing out water in a huge arc? :>)

It is just a normal 130-acre circle; we will have to use the second well to pick up the remaining 50 acres.

As I said earlier, this young farmer has worked like a mule on this place for some time now and I personally know how hard it is to irrigate.

Factoring in the higher efficiency of these newer pivots, we just think this is a wise move and not to mention the fact that I think that the guy deserves it.

Thanks for the hollar back,

Allan
