The lack of wind to pump water for cattle this past summer helped make the decision to install solar power to submersible pumps as a more reliable power source in sunny western Nebraska. This will hopefully bring more warm underground water into the tanks to reduce freezing of tanks this winter, which will allow the cattle to stay in the pastures that did not get utilized in the summer. A problem developed after installation with the pump delivering too much water causing the well to pump dry. Therefore we will drop off one solar panal so the pump won't pump quite so much. Watch the blog for further developments.
