Description
English: A contractor loads a fresh spool of tubing onto the device that makes two 10" furrows and buries two lines of drip tubing at the same time as a tractor pulls it between two rows of pecan trees, during the installation of micro irrigation drip tube in one of the pecan orchards at Arrowhead Farms of Crystal City, TX, on March 29, 2010. The farm, has been owned by Mr. Akram Mohammad since 2005. In all, about 25,000 feet of drip tubing was used. The 719-acre farm with 10,000 trees, features some orchards with underground micro irrigation system that feeds water to the roots of 4,380 pecan trees on 146 acres. Mr. Mohammad said, “USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) was essential to my business and trees surviving the recent exceptional drought. The trees were stress free thanks to underground micro-irrigation. This is essential to the future growth of Texas agriculture and good for America.” U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Environmental Quality Initiative Program (EQIP) awarded Mr. Mohammad a $130,000 grant in 2008. He provided $26,000 for the balance of the $156,000 total cost to install a 146-acre underground micro-irrigation for 4,380 trees. USDA Photo by J. M. Villarreal.
