[QUOTE="Y Fan Wen, post: 3314354, member: 741"] Back to the collection; [ATTACH=full]449076[/ATTACH] Here we see the empty canal with the Autumn leaves drifting in (in May!). The yard is over the bridge where OH is standing in the red coat. The building on the right is the pump house which is for watering the stock. Technically you are not allowed to water stock with irrigation water. It is a tube well and the water is 8M down. Instead of the submersible pump you would find here, there is a high speed reciprocating pump chugging away. [ATTACH=full]449104[/ATTACH] Now the pump house is on the left and these are young stock newly delivered the previous week and awaiting various doses and injections. The plough is taken round the farm on a 6 year cycle and on each reseed the field is carefully graded at the seedbed stage so that flood irrigation covers each area uniformly. I think he claimed an accuracy of 4cm in each field or it might have been the fall hat he was quoting. A specialist contractor does this job using gps and laser guidance. There is an 18" bund separating the enclosures. [ATTACH=full]449106[/ATTACH] Another view of the same field. Not really visible in the background are unwrapped big hay bales ready for the coming Winter. Each field would be irrigated up to 7 times a year with a maximum of 4" each time. [/QUOTE]
