Irrigation System converted to Higher Efficiency, Coloradog

Wes Robbins with an irrigation system that was converted to LEPA. Water can be seen being applied very close to the ground so that it does not evaporate. The nozzles have four settings so that they can used to irrigate or chemigate, i.e. apply chemicals as well as irrigation water. This particualr type of conversion is one that Robbins helped develop so that farmers can do it at about a third the cost of a commercial conversion.
