I have done a little research on the windmills on the internet and some of the numbers for what they will pump are staggering. They have some 20 foot diameter beasts capable of pumping over 1 million gallons per hour if I am reading that correctly. That is only lifting the water about a foot with a steady strong wind. Lite to medium winds the big ones are still in the 500,000 gallon per hour range. I wouldn't even think of anything that big but I can see the idea is feasable with the numbers they are throwing around. I am just looking for ways to figure out how to make the land more useful. Yes there are wetlands around the property and I am sure the state will have their nose in it like they do everything but it would be nice to pump the water into the wetland and make part of our land dryland. I would think it could be the best of both worlds. We have technically 50 acres of farmland and 27 acres of weltlands that border it. I can see those ducks looking over there thinking " I wish that guy would dry that up and grow some good crops so we would have some good corn and beans to eat" The state wants me to be stuck and broke though as long as they have water everywhere.
