I just might ask the NRCS what kind of "crop" might benefit from irrigation. It seems to me that you have plenty of hardwoods that might be considered to have a future market value. Drought could slow down the growth of your investment. Or maybe a cleared area for a winter wheat plot to feed the deer that you are non-selectively breeding for future market hunting.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
