IRRIGATION IS GROP INSURANCE
Y
OU can raise some crops every year and all crops
some years without irrigation. But if you want to
raise all crops every year you should irrigate. The
value of any crop any year can be increased 50 to 500 per
cent, by irrigation.
If you have water supply from well, creek or stream,we
can supply you with electric power for pumping. On receipt
of information card we will be pleased to make you estimate
of cost.
