Illinois | I don't know anything about pivots. So I'm looking for input from you guys..
We don't farm river bottom ground nor sandy ground. Our land is mostly flat, kinda square, and varies dark to light soils.
Do you have to get drilling permits to look for aquifers and drill?
How much do pivots cost?
What is the cost per acre to run?
Just looking for rules of thumb to get thinking right.
From what I am told, irrigation could account for 50-150 bushels of corn, based on the weather of that growing season. So IMO, a guy could almost pay for one in a summer drought. And in a good year, if our yields are 180-200 bu/ac, why not be able to push those yields to 225+ and make it rain when it needs to rain? | |
