Here are a few other pictures of irrigating, which is described more in the previous blog. The first picture shows some of the activities of irrigating, including the chicken in the background (that yellow spot) finding food tidbits!! The next picture is at the head gate of the canal - you can see the screened opening into our gated pipe system on the right of the picture and the dam set in place to keep the water from going on down the canal. We use this system to irrigate about every 3-4 weeks during the summer growing season. Our soil has quite a bit of clay content, so it holds the moisture well.
