Brinkley, Arkansas
Richard I"m the designated camera man. The guy in the tractor is my dad and the rest work for us.

Friday a week ago we got anywhere from 0.3" to 1.7" of rain across the farm which bought us a little time to get the pipe put out. All we've done so far is lay it out and punch the holes. I'm going to start spraying for plant bugs and putting on some Pix and boron Monday. We'll probably start the water as soon as I leave the field with the sprayer.

This is our first year to use the Durapipe and I'm not too crazy about it. The quality control on the Delta seemed to be better. When we laid the pipe in our corn a while back we had several rolls with small leaks and clear spots where the white UV protection didn't get in the mix. So far none of the small leaks have given serious problems but it makes me nervous to know they're out there.
