We presently have one irrigation system. It is a 1300 foot long low pressure system that covers approximately 125 acres as it circles. It has spray nozzles that are suspended from drops to reduce evaporation. There is a 7.5 hp. electric booster pump that allows the end gun to spray much of the corners in the field. The well is located near the pivot and is 80 feet deep. A diesel engine powers the pump and a generator. Each tower has an electric motor that powers its movement through the field.
It is a Valley system that replaced an older water drive system that we installed in 1978.
The system is a high clearance version since our corn can get very tall. This system just barely misses the barn and bin on the far side of the field!
