100. 6-inch pump. Sprinkler system.
To visit farm travel southeast from
Morton on Highway 116; turn southAbout one year ago the High Plains
Underground Water Conservation Dis-
trict entered into a flow-meter pro-
gram with several farmers in the Dis-
trict. At the present time, the District
is cooperating with eleven irrigators
in the program.
The purpose of the flow-meter pro-
gram is to determine amounts of irri-
gation water being applied to various
crops on various soil types. The farms
included in the program also provide
an adequate provmg ground for stud-
ies in crop yields from tracts having
received various water treatments.
Each of the eleven irrigators has a
flow-meter installed on his well pump
in order to measure the quantity of
water being produced. Each also has
a rain gauge on the farm, with which
an accurate record of rainfall may be
kept. A record book is furnished by
the District. The irrigator records a-
mounts of irrigation water put on var-
ious plots and the time used in apply-
ing the water.
It is hoped that the information de-
veloped through this cooperative pro-
gram may be helpful to others in their
search for better water management
practices.
The locations of the eleven farms
included in the flow-meter program
are described below. You will note
the locations are also shown on the
map at right.
