Watered by Innovation on Chanute Farm
The Taylor brothers Lewis and Wayne on their 185 acre bottom farm southeast of Chanute use overhead irrigation to beat the weather.

Sprinkling runs five hours per setup to equal two inches of rain, then moves and continues around the clock. The corn soybeans and alfalfa thrive despite dry conditions.
