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.
78 bpa. Not the same field but a good idea what precision leveled land can produce. Still the same 3 and 1 skip pattern with the 1790.
Hardly any new pivots being put up here. The only ones are replacements for ones damaged by storms. Some have been moved around after leveling to some poorer land but not a lot of new ones in the past decade or more. Thousands of acres have been landformed though.
