It's always better to have someone live at the farm than have the security people patrol.

The mobile home is coming along nicely and I think we will end up with a decent place for some good tenants. Once we pick up the wood left behind and we are ready to disk the ground to clean up the weeds when it is dry enough.

Flooding.. Baby orchard in trouble! TID saves the day.

OK. Here's the scoop! The pipeline that runs through the property was filled last week when a neighbor irrigated. There were lots of leaks! Some were causing flooding of areas which, if allowed to continue, would kill our new trees. But T.I.D. was very responsive. Tim flagged all of the leaks and the manager of the repair crew toured the orchard. The district emptied the pipeline and had a crew working on the leaks for two full days.

TID was also very prompt in getting our new pump panel connected. We will run the system next week and Landmark Irrigation will flush the system and install the "figure 8's" on the ends of the hoses. That will mark the completion of the installation of this phase of the irrigation system.
