Jon.
Saw, I have an update for you. As you know my business is actually farm/ranch restoration. The motto for my business is "Preparing Farms for Future Generations."
I took your advice and sold the pipe and sucker rod to a horse trainer that wanted to build a round pen. He wanted a bid to build it including materials. I sold the material to him for .20 cents a pound (our local scrap yard charges .30 a pound and is only paying me .04 cents) and he accepted my bid per hour to build it. Most do not like bids per hour, but he knew my work ethic and did not hesitate when it was presented. Therefore a community service project (experiment) turned into additional work and more than scrap value.
The owner of the irrigation company could not believe one third of the irrigation pivot system was all ready completed and that the renter of the land had been contacted about his planting schedule. The renter of the land even offered to bring over a water truck since I went to the trouble to find out who it was. The irrigation company could not provide the information, so I visited with neighbors to find him.
Thanks for the idea.
