Thanks, all for the replies, Chuck, know what you are saying, when we were growing up, we would dig holes one day, come back the next, and drop the pole in the hole, try to kill the snake in it, clean by mashing that fence post down hard, and SPLASH, end up with a face full of water! Jdemaris, This ground might qualify for the artesian pressure definition, we tiled a part of it back in the 70's, if you dug deeper than 4', the water would come up so fast that you risked not getting the backhoe out till the ground froze in the winter. If anybody knows how to do it (google earth), the land in question lies along the ridge between the south river drainage area, and the patuxent river drainage area, near the headwaters of What is known as Roper's branch, in AA county, MD, but as close as you can get to PG county, MD, without crossing the Patuxent. Based on what I see here, I plan to drill down, first with a 4" auger, as deep as it will go, then fill the hole with water, let soak to wet the ground below, then drill down with a 2-1/2" bit till I hit water. Then I will let it settle a while, then install a 2" well point and set it in bentonite, maybe put in a hand stroke pump with a foot valve, and see if I can pump it dry in an hour. If I can't pump it dry in that time, then maybe I 'll think about a solar pump, as there's no electric anywhere close. Thanks again for the replies.

It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
