    No wonder you haven't seen any in Ohio, cuz you get RAIN there....LOL
    Holt County, Nebraska has the largest collection of pivot irrigation systems in the world besides Israel.
    Just GoogleEarth Holt County and look at it. Amazing...!!

    Yes, it's flat Nebraska Sandhills country with the Ogalala Aquifer underneath. We're in the deepest part of the aquifer and irrigation has become a boom in Nebr over the past 40 years. Much native grass has been plowed.....even some marginal stuff that should have been left. But Dollar is the King. "Pivots" wear out and get blown over in windstorms. Good for the scrapper but I've never done one yet.
