Although we have our own well, we do have irrigation rights, and in ground irrigation all through the pasture. I guess maybe I don't know enough about the water rights issue to give an intelligent response?? We have already fenced off part of it for rotation, we plan on splitting it up again come spring. I only have one horse now, 7 goats, so, it shouldn't be too hard to keep it fertilized and watered and rotated next year.
Nobody knows sufficient about water rights to make an intelligent response, including me. I just know a couple of people who've started small ag projects without finding out their irrigation rights and lost their keisters, so I thought I'd bring it up.
Well I know we have them, I know I have two pumps that run our lines. I know that when all my neighbors are running their water, mine goes to crap!! ( cause I haven't hooked up the big pump yet). I have had plenty of water tho for the past two years, the only complaint came from a guy who isn't even on our grid, he came over beating the door down the first summer we were here, cause everyone had their pumps off except mine, and I wasn't pumping enough apparently and it was flooding his front yard!!
