Popular irrigation sprinklers in the Big Lost River Valley June 28 2011

 This is a hand line sprinkler system and the most labor intensive. The sprinkler pipe has to be moved by hand in sections to cover the entire field.
 This is a wheel line sprinkler and a motor moves the sprinkler along in the field. Wheel lines are light and subject to being blown about the field in high winds.
This is a pivot sprinkler and very popular in the Big Lost River Valley. However, they are pricey!
