Dryland
July 19, 2011
An abandoned center pivot stands in a dried-up field on David Dechant’s Ford Lupton, Colo., farm Thursday, June 16, 2011. Dechant abandoned the pivot after thieves stole the copper wiring connecting the towers because the costs for the repair were too high and he needed the water elsewhere. “Rather than having two sprinklers with insufficient water, I figured it was better to turn this field into dryland and transfer my quota to the other field,” Dechant said.
