Hi Howard how it's going there? The winds we had last few days could just about dry out anything a person could get pumped out on a field lol. You are right about the good water spoiling us for drinking water. Yep with our water table falling and rising energy prices irrigation is not a viable thing here anymore on small pumps where water has fell. I'm hearing other areas here lost more water this summer going to smaller pumps and those us of that done been there told them to quit irrigating or go broke soon. It's a losing battle they can't fight. I saw off caprock SE of panhandle last year where they irrigate hay and their good pump water table is dropping but the salt water there is rising and it grows nothing but salt cedars that just ruin the land for any other use. Saw where they had pumped salt water out on hay fields and the alfalfa looked terrible compared to hay around here. You could tell just driving by fields who was pumping good water and which was running salty water yet the salt water still grows weeds well lol. Need to find something in the salt cedars to cross into our good crops and it would work.
