Subject: Side roll irrigation question


denver, colorado
On a farm I rent on shares it has one well with a pump that can produce aprox. 600GPM @ 50psi. The farm has 2 side rolls both aprox. 1300ft can water with both at same time. One is in a field of 50A. with angles on both ends of field can get water on 40A. Second field is 38A. can get water on 30A. Try to run two 6hour cycles a day but can not get across the fields fast enough to grow a good crop of grass hay in bigger field and new stand of alfalfa in second field, we are in a bad drought very little help from mother nature. My question is are the side rolls even big enough to do the job? How many acres on average can a side roll cover?
