Well, I have a well, 12" that can produce 500 gpm. I am leaning towards corn on the feilds around this well next year, but I need to invest in a gun, traveling or not. I also will need to buy, or rent a pump, as the pump was removed from my well, (wasnt my pump), when I stopped renting out the land. Does any one have any ideas what a used gun is gonna cost me, or the pump and installing. I'm not sure if I should go PTO driven, electric or what. I plan on utilizing my chicken manure, 280+ tons, no shavings, and going with corn on a larger scale next year, higher pop as mentioned below, but only if I can set up to water it if it is a dry season. I was gonna increase my rye acreage, but with rye at $6.75-$8 this year and alot of people's corn/beans drying up, I am thinking that in my area ALOT of people are gonna jump on the rye seeding this fall and the higher prices will be way down next fall. With fertilzer cost I am thinking less acres of corn will be planted and the corn price will stay good. Any recommendations on the watering set up, or prices I should expect? Also, what do you guys think about my rye/corn assumptions?
