My view this week. 

 
We had another hailstorm near miss a week and a half ago. This milo is only 1/2 mile away from over east. 

 
This picture from may shows how wheat looks after undergoing severe disease stress, drought stress, hail damage, freeze damage and flooding.

So thursday morning the motor over east was shut off because there was no pressure from the gas well. Then I had considerable trouble getting the sprinkler to pressure up because the water well was pumping air. Then one of the sprinkler towers quit running.

Good news: we have enough room to simply drop the water pump 60 feet. All they have to do is pull the pump and add some pipe.

Bad news: All they had to do to fix the gas well was to pull the pump and replace it with a new one. Unfortunately they broke something while pulling the pump and might now be forced to cap the well.
