Pipeline update

For those interested in the goings on at the ranch, the pipeline project we started last fall is finally coming to completion and fruition. We installed the pivot, plowed the sagebrush and planted a 3-grain forage mix. Here's a few photos I took this week.

 Here's the diversion structure. The water enters the pipe here, then passes through some 24", 22", 14", 12" and finally 10" pipe on the way to the pivot.

 The pipeline runs about a mile, you can see the plowed ground beyond the trees in the picture.

This is where the water's journey ends. The pivot waters the field at nearly hundreds of gallons per minute. Already we're seeing some green and hope to have a hay crop sometime in July.
