As the sun starts rising,

Or setting

Beneath cloudy skies of storm clouds

The need to keep the crops on our place watered has been a constant

Since early spring.

We are starting into the home run now.

The corn is almost all dented.  Once dented, we will water one more time. (to be sure all the kernals are nice and full)

After which, we stop all irrigation on the three corn fields.

After that, we will water the two alfalfa fields a couple of more times.  We don’t want them going into the winter dry.  If they are too dry, they will die over the winter.

Starting to wind down now.
