Springs Power Peanut and Oats Irrigation in County Farmland
McDonald relies on springs for spring irrigation, watering oats to 40 bushels per acre and portions of peanuts. He expects one quarter of yearly water from these springs, plans multiple peanut irrigations through November, and applies about two inches per session. He forecasts 30 bales of peanut hay per acre if fully saved, with irrigation system cost around 11 000 dollars. Last year he watered watermelons and cantaloupes, noting minerals in the water.
