Irrigation System burried by Dunes, New Mexico

Two farmers were digging out this center pivot irrigation system just east of Portales, NM that has been burried in the sand for seven years. In this area of sand hills combined with high spring winds (and no ground cover on fields) sand dunes can form very quickly. This area still has good water.
