Subject: Re: Irrigation investment....yes or no


Fairbury, NE (Southeast)
Used pivots can be a viable option, cutting the initial cost in half. After 4-6 k in upgrades you can have a very reliable machine. As for the "will it pay" factor, in your neck of the woods it is very questionable. Here it can add 100 bushel pretty quickly. But I have a friend near you in Tekehmeh NE (sp) that banks on 175 bu dryland every year. The extra 25 to 50 bushel will be a slow payback. The advantages of used will cut initial investment, and with fewer hours run per year it will last a long time.
