| Certify it dryland. Problem solved. No law against irrigating dryland farms.
The irrigation in this case would be no different than the taxing entity driving by the farm and seeing a new tractor sitting there and adding the value of the tractor to the farm.
What I have seen borrowing water is pay the waters owner the difference in cash rent for irrigated vs dryland. That’s for full irrigation, not a half irrigated type deal.
So you own the farm but it would cash rent for $25 dryland. Irrigated farms rent for $100. So you pay the water guy $75 an acre for his water and pivot. Then pay the farmer for the pumping costs and something for his time to babysit the pivot when it’s on you. | |
