Not much in the way of developed trails out here...can't think of
any in the County, matter of fact...ya' just walk where ya' wanta'
walk on the prairie; not much to stop you nor much in the general
nature of any particular reason to choose one place vis a vis
another...

Ours arent prepared trails, they have developed over
time by the people and bikes moving over them.

Well, I'd get pretty irate with enough traffic through wheat fields
and pastures to develop permanent paths...

You can see from the satellite view that there
are no wheat fields or pastures involved.

whose land are they trespassing on?

They arent trespassing on anyone's land.

This is public land that anyone is welcome
to walk or ride a pedal bike on.

They arent legally allowed to ride motorbikes on there,
but do anyway, but mostly just on that old rubbish dump.

The old rubbish dump does have some
pretty wild tracks on it use by trail bikes.



Huh!Â* All flood irrigation still...wow!

Nope, plenty of drip with trees and lots of what we call lateral moves too.

Flood works better wirh rice. This is the main rice producing area of
the country.

OK, makes sense...couldn't tell what the crop was. No rice anyways near
here...

We dont do center pivot much, lateral move is much better, uses all the
land.

The convenience of the well at the middle hard to beat. There's plenty
of ground to give up the corners... There are lateral systems on
smaller tracts back east and out in some of the mountain valleys for
hay, etc., and they're pretty common in the desert SW for their
specialty crops, too.

....

Our feed lots are much further out.

Actually Heifer Source isn't feedlot but a dairy calf-rearing facility
producing milkers.

Lots of cotton too.

Getting to be more altho towards the northern end of the degree-days
boundary but since takes less water is making inroads...plus some newer
varieties better adapted.

Sunflowers, canola, some potatoes (under contract to MickeyD's), grain
sorghum (milo) besides the wheat and corn...
