That's a smokin nice looking field of beans. Around here, pivots are replacing almost all pipe irrigation. We flood a little, in small valleys and you always fight a quick fall followed by a flat end.
I would vote subsurface drip, get a digger and do it yourself and save. Make sure your water tests low in minerals before you do drip or the lifespan will be brief.
