Shutting Down Irrigation System, Texas

Farm north of Lorenzo, Texas where farmer shut down the pump, took the wheels of the center pivot irrigation system and put the land into grass under the Conservation Reserve Program. CRP pays farmers to plant marginal land back into grass and thus remove it from irrigation and the problems of wind erosion. Amount of CRP land is limited in each county. Many have already reached their limit.
