Glad to hear that your Dad is doing well. Hope he can actually enjoy his retirement or semi-retirement since he is always trying to help out around the farm. 👍👍👍
Thank you for then fixing the sound problem which was about 16 minutes in earlier. Started looking on the phone and when I got home I tried on the computer to see if this worked better, you had then already removed the clip.
“See it’s warm enough, so if it explodes and gets us wet that would feeeeeeeeeeeel good.” 😂🤣😂🤣 Cale with that level of reasoning, most of us are crunching the numbers now, but you must my have a win - win scenario on your hands. 🍻🇺🇸👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Tried some this year for first time, couldn’t make it work because I couldn’t even catch a rain to settle powder in bottom of the ridges. Water wouldn’t make it more than 100 yds after running a couple 72 hr sets. Was desperate to keep corn alive so laid out normal pipe. I am still excited to try it again next year, just hopefully with better conditions to start with
I read a story on how wells in western Kansas, which is also the on the Ogallala aquifer, are starting to go dry. Any idea on how the aquifer level is doing in your part of Nebraska?
The irrigation district measures the water level every March. It's been higher and lower over the years, but currently it's about where it was when pumping started in the 1950's.
Hey Cale, how much is that poly pipe stuff per lineal meter, or whatever you use over there to measure length, I can do the conversions myself as long as you give me a value per length unit and tell me what you use. Also do you think it is managable to manually roll that stuff out on some kind of rig without having to buy that trailer? Or do you reckon the roll weighs too much for that. I'm only looking for around 300m x2. So around 275 yards x 2. Looking to see if its worth investing in this or if I should stick with the 8 hour job it takes right now to get it sorted. Love the content, really happy you are uploading more, I always like your outlook on life and learn new stuff every day. More here then on Laura's channel to be honest.
How many inches of water per week for corn, for beans? How many weeks do you irrigate? How many acres are irrigated? How many inch acres total water is used per season on your farm?
Typical high yielding corn or soybean plant require about 22 inches of water per year. This year I have some wells where I have pumped 7 inches of water, and other wells I have pumped 12 in of water. (Per acre)
well that could be good water but in Montana and we call it God country for a reason I have drank water from pure spring coming right out of the ground and it is good water but under a city called Great Falls Montana is what is called the Teton aquafer and that water millions of years old and it the purest water and best you will ever drink so that might be good water you drink but we drink great water up here
I'm so glad to hear, that your dad i doing well. The best wishes from Denmark.
I remember watching this video yesterday.
A big hello from a small town Thurles in Ireland 🇮🇪
"Wow" Interesting video.. IN Michigan here we "Don't have Irrigation "Alot too be Learned" marv"

Oh great that corn garden.

Hi Cale. Mark your elbow and straight pipes for each pivot connection that way you dont have to mix and match pipes.
Great idea!
I’m a computer programmer. We are always surprised if things work the first time 😂
love that 70s John Deer!!!
Don't you need back flow valves. Up here in the Lower Elkhorn NRD we do,maybe not if we don't fertigate or chemigate.
Also, are you required to stay within acre inch limitations?
@@glennspreeman1634 Currently, there are no pumping restrictions in the Upper Big Blue NRD.
15:07 here`s where we need that hyper salesman to show how flex tape would fix the leak. bwahaha

It's wonderful

My grandson lost his left index finger to a worn out leaking hydrolic hose. When should you replace hydrolic hoses?

I feel like I just finished a master class in irrigation. Do you issue certificates of completion?

Seen this. A re run hummmmm

Do you reuse the pipe hose or is it a once and done?
Some guys do reuse it but this will get recycled
this type of irrigation does not wet the leaves. it is great for tomatoes. how about corn and soybeans?
nice

Best gravity irrigation is RAIN .

What is the best gravity flow irrigation you ask. Let me tell you the kind you don’t have to use. lol
I think the best gravity irrigation is rain. You just can't depend on it...
