don't tell me it don't rust!!!Â*Â*Â*Â* Just looking for a suggestion on how to
prevent it


If it's black pipe in the ground, the pipe and joints should be wrapped
with plumbers tape or some equivalent covering. You could also add
galvanic protection to it, such as a zinc anode buried and wired to the
pipe above ground. The parts above ground can be painted with a rust
preventing paint.
