Dragon-Line irrigation hopes to stretch Ogallala water in Kansas

Teeter Irrigation founder Monty Teeter unveils the Dragon-Line, a pivot to drip hybrid that could cut water use by 20 to 50 percent. The system, tested on a 320-acre farm, pipes water directly to roots via buried tubing, reducing evaporation and wheel-track damage while enabling winter irrigation with minimal soil impact. Kansas State and extension researchers study its performance against conventional pivots, weighing cost and adaptability for farmers with limited wells.
