Allen rancher rigs up modern irrigation for peanuts
Lindon C. Tate of Allen, 37, installed a 18 acre peanut irrigation system using a Fairbanks Morse pump powered by a 62 Ford tractor. A 1100 foot from the field, two acre spring fed pond feeds a four inch discharge through five inch intake irrigation over 90 foot sprinkler circles. Tate expects 60 hours of pumping to cover the crop and plans to expand next year to Bermuda grass and other plantings. He recently bought a John Deere bulldozer and is welding farm machinery at his Allen garage.
