<br />000518 <br /> <br />>, <br /> <br />Milton Rink continues to be pleased with the surge valve and controller that he is using on alfalfa <br />and com, He was able to reduce the time of run on a field of alfalfa and still get the center of the <br />field wetter than with conventional irrigation he has used in the past. He is also pleased with the <br />stainless steel wedge wire screen that was installed to reduce trash in gated pipe on a com field, <br />He said that he has not had trouble with the gates stopping up with trash as he had before the <br />trash screen was installed, <br /> <br />I met with Jim Persinger of 0,000, Inc, of Hugoton, KS to discuss them furnishing an O,oon Air <br />System for the Holly Project. The O,oon Air unit "pumps atmospheric air through its patented <br />O,oon cells, where the air is electrically ionized and broken down to the free radical form", <br />"Highly ionized air is injected directly into irrigation water through the water line as it flows to the <br />sprinkler for distribution over the field", O,oon has indicated it will furnish the unit for <br />demonstration for the 2000 growing season, I am presently working with the Northeast Prowers <br />SCD to find a cooperator with a center pivot system to install the O,oon Air System unit. <br /> <br />CWCBHPR8,99 <br />
