I had a green 'un just about like that in my youth- went to work for the neighbor when I was 14- He had about 240 acres, I think, which was 6 forties in a row along a gravel road. About 13 sets of handline irrigation to change, twice a day, when they were all running. Really too far to walk to change them all, so I asked Dad if I could use the pickup- gravel roads were never patrolled by the sheriff, so he said OK and Mom looked the other way. Between changing the pipes, the owner's kid and I put up hay all day, every day (seldom rains much in the Pacific Northwest after July 1, right on into September- I can't remember the last time we had a thunderstorm- so if you irrigate, you can put up lots of tasty hay). Hard work, but good memories.
