There are eight circles with Zimmatic center-pivot sprinkler irrigation systems with drops on 60” centers. Seven of the circles are 125 acres each and one (#3) is 140 acres. Three of the sprinklers were installed new in 2008. The other five sprinklers are 1978 models that were reconditioned in 2008. Six of the sprinklers are each supplied by one well that is located near the pivot point. The two north sprinklers are connected to three wells and operated one at a time.
