Alright, right here we are having the worst drought ever. Ya all know I am done renting my land this year. 4 times in the last week I have driven by a feild that is rented by the same farmer that rents mine. The irrigation on THAT feild was running all 4 times. Normal right? Well it would be if something was planted in it! It was never seeded in anything, its not even tilled just full of everyweed you can imagine. But........ the irrigation on my property and the one behind,which was notilled in beans thicker than grass, he has not ran the irrigations AT ALL. What the heck, they are all dying. The heavy ground on my peice them beans are almost 4' tall and thick, now they are dying too. I want to call the renter and ask what gives but figure I'll get a " mind yer own". Any one have any insight why a unseeded weedy feild (40acres) would be getting watered, and the 100+ acre of beans here under pivots in sandy soil are being allowed to dry up? Is there more money in crop ins payments and fed aid than the net from harvesting and watering? Could the elec bill from one big sprinkler be used to show " hey I ran my irrigators , see?
