[QUOTE="judd-e, post: 1767923, member: 13493"] I have 42 acre pasture. Working with NRCA on rotational grazing set up. Between these 2 options which would you choose and why? 1) use rural water 2) NRCA has plans to dig a trench from my pond into a pit, and from there use solar pump to pump to waterers. the pasture will have 4 water points. The pond does not have stand pipe and is at the bottom of the gently rolling hill property. I originally was going for the solar...but now leaning toward rural water. Location is northwest Missouri near Kansas City. I don't fully understand the solar pump setup is one reason for my hesitation as well as potentially hard to find contactor for that project. Does the solar require a tank at the top of the hill then gravity fed to the points. OR can it be pressurized to the water points? I like the idea of no water bill...but have to reconcile that with on only 40 acres we are probably talking 15-25 head at most times of the year. What would you do? Thanks a lot Justin [/QUOTE]
