Yes Greg, we have lots of water applied when we want it most of the time. It is run through the power turbines at Grand Coulee Dam and then put in canal that runs all over this old desert. Add some fertilizer and this sand will grow about anything. Also we have one large lake, Moses Lake, and many small ones, some open year round for fishing. others seasonal. Thumper Acres sits at the south center edge of a 1/4 section with a center pivot irrigation system on it. It travels around the field at a speed needed to keep the crop growing, fertilizer can be added that way if needed. It is 1/4 mile from the center to the near edge and the last section of the pivot swings in on the short sides and around our house and out to water the corners. It is almost possible to water a square with a circle irrigation that way. Unfarmed corners are usually used to store the tarped cut hay or straw on until needed. I didn't buy the acreage and pivot as it wasn't for sale and would have cost more than the house and buildings and our 1.25 Acre. That is enough for us. Max
