[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1286066, member: 3162"] Irrigate out of the river. 3 inch irrigation pipe mostly. Old peanut farming pipe system. Pumps running anywhere from 300 to 500 gpm. 25 to 30 foot sticks of aluminum pipe. Move them manually every couple of hours. Spray head sprinkler on each stick of pipe. Lots of labor. Biggest expense is fuel for pump. Have an old tractor PTO pump but you are limited on lift. Have to park on the river and that's chancy. Rather use a 4 inch trash pump. I think there's 1700 feet of useable 3 inch pipe with sprinklers. Each sprinkler is 8 to 12 gpm. Rain it'd commercial sprinklers mostly. It's pretty easy to get $30 a bale expense in with fuel cost only. [/QUOTE]
