We're out of water now. Plus it was time to cut and bale the oats. Alfalfa produces 3 crops a year. So any water we can get goes to those fields at this point. We're on severe water rationing now. We have to wait four or five days at a time for the pond to fill and if it's our turn we have a limited number of rainbirds we can use. Twice a day when there’s water. We’re out of water now.

There is a reward in the job. I always liked moving the pipe. Ecspecially in the mornings. Quiet,calm and crisp. Move the pipe to the next set. Straight as possible. Then turn on the valve. Watch the risers to make sure they all work. Smile with a small amount of satisfaction. Move to next set and do it over again. When your done you look at the feild and listen as the sprinklers are going and it is calming and hypnotic. 12 hours later you get to do it all over again.
