This morning at 6:45 Terry called the ditch rider and turned the water off. We are done until next spring.
He is pulling beans as I write this. 
Harvest is happening!

The Water is in the Ditch
This is the same ditch I just wrote about in Waiting for Water.
Siphon tubes are one of the oldest farm tools still in use. They have been lifting water from irrigation ditches and putting water into waiting furrows for thousands of years.
Once this field gets wet, then the water will be moved. Probably to one of the fields with gated pipe.
A New Pipe in the Ditch
Terry is trying to stop the problem of the pipes sanding up, so he broke out the cement took out the larger 12” pipe and put in a 10” pipe. The day we worked on this little project, was the first day of our 45 mile an hour gusts of wind!
