Water is pumped from Ogallala aquifer, Static water level is around 300 ft deep. Most wells are 400-600 ft. deep, pumping on average about 450 gal/min.
Engines have historically ran on Nat. Gas from the Hugoton Gas Field, but low pressure and Gas Company directives are forcing us to switch to Electric, Diesel or other means.

Water availability is declining, we get any little or no recharge in the aquifer area we are located in.

We have learned to grow crops with less and less water, but facing reality that our future is limited in this area to be able to economically pump water much longer growing commodity crops.
