I don't know how you are irrigating, Allan, but have you considered a pump
powered some other way? Electric motor, solar (maybe that's too off the
wall)?

I can't help but notice that we are WAY outside our budget on
irrigation expense this season (irrigation has been irritatingly
expensive ever since a 5 gal can of gas started costing close to $15
and buys us about 5 hours of irrigation. We've been pumping water
pretty much 24/7 since late June.
ANYWAY, has anyone heard of any drought expense related grants or
loans through the FSA or USDA or ?? this season?
Thanks

percent chance that it won't rain (which is about as good as it's
been for a long time. I did get rain yesterday: an intense 45 seconds
of it...but it was REALLY intense (and, as far as I know, real, not
imagined! ;-)
