    Running a new water line-need help in sizing it.

    The water line that runs to the house now is a 3/4 galv. pipe that was put who knows how long ago and we only have about 20 psi at the house now so anything i do is going to improve my situation. The city is putting the new meter in a different location and that was why i was trying to figure...

    Running a new water line-need help in sizing it.

    But will i benefit from running the larger size pipe when i'm coming off a 3/4 in. meter outlet fitting? It seems to me that the 3/4 in. outlet is going to restrict the pressure and the volume at the end of the run. (if you figure it without a booster pump)

    Running a new water line-need help in sizing it.

    The water pressure at the meter is about 60 psi and its pretty level from the meter to the house and yes i have outdoor faucets as well i am putting 4 freezeproof watering tanks. I will talk to the water meter people tomorrow about putting in a bigger meter, that would sure help I know. Its a...

    Running a new water line-need help in sizing it.

    I'm getting to run a new water line to my house. It's 3000 ft and i will be hooking it to a city water tap meter with a 3/4 in. outlet connector. My question is will it do me any good (pressure or volume wise) to run anything bigger than a 3/4 in. line? i was going to run an 1 1/2 in. or 1 1/4...

    Sprayer dye

    Any farm store that sells chemicals should carry the dye. I had a friend use some last year and he said it was a waste of money. The grass was green when he sprayed. It might show up on dead brown grass though. I think it costs like 18-20 dollars a gallon. I used liquid dishwashing detergent as...

    paper disposal & burn barrels

    We burn ours in a 55 gallon barrel also and then I dump it in a ravine in the pasture. I have a lot of trouble dumping the full barrels. I use my front end loader, but they are heavy to manually turn upside down and dump. I'm thinking of trying the method described by CB above. It seems like it...

    The Feeding Season

    I have fed less hay and less feed than ever this year, and my cows look as good as they ever have for this time of year. I held back some pasture this year and it's really payed off. Very little feed so far. I had to finally feed some hay when we got the big ice storm, but as soon as the ice...

    Who's responsible?

    My son who is 35 and an experienced driver was driving a county road just after dusk. Dark enough he had his headlamps on, when came up on a tractor driving without lights. He swerved to miss it and his rear quarter panel caught the axle of the tractor ripping it pretty bad. Who is liable in a...

    Need simple recordkeeping spreadsheet or program

    After doing a search for cattle management software and looking at a few, I now have a headache. I'm more confused than ever. There are several that look like just what I need.

    Need simple recordkeeping spreadsheet or program

    Thanks RNW, I checked out their website and it looks interesting. A bit more than I need, but if you can track your expenses and income and your cow/calf records, it might be just what I have been looking for. They have a trial version availiable and I think I will try it and see if it works as...

    Need simple recordkeeping spreadsheet or program

    I downloaded the beefcow.exe on my computer sometime ago I've not used it yet.It's down by the bottom of that list. It's only good for one year though, you might be able to modify for more than that.It's got room for 300 cows I think.

    Need simple recordkeeping spreadsheet or program

    You would think that one of these university extensions could come up with something simple to keep track of cow/calf records. I think you are looking for the same thing I have been looking and haven't found. If you find something, I would appreciate it if you would post it. Thanks P.S. There...

    Census?

    I had forgotten about mine till I saw this question. I'll have to dig it out of this pile of junk mail I keep my rocking chair. The last time I got one and forgot to fill it out , they sent me a semi threatening letter and said I was required by law to fill it out. It's kind of a pain in the...

    True Grit

    The Searchers, She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, and Red River are three of my favorites, all classics. I liked and admired John Wayne so much that I named my oldest son after him. I wanted to name him John Wayne but my wife didn't want the whole thing so we compromised on Gerald Wayne. I,ve never heard...

    steel truss's

    I live in rural NE Oklahoma and you can pretty well build anything you want. What I was really interested in was framing it up just like a regular pole barn using some used utility poles and then maybe use a steel span trusse instead of a wooden one for the roof. It seemed like a good idea, I...
