Question:

do all farms have to have water brought in?

i always see farm trucks filling up water and bringing it to their farms. do all farms have to do this? also how is this done? is there a large water silo or some kind of reserve that is filled up once a week or what? Can you drink the water from those water stations you often find near towns for farm trucks?

Answer:

our farm doesn't what i think your seeing is a spray truck - spraying the fields with chemicals - the concentrated liquid is put into the tanker first and then bulked with water to disperse onto the fields some of the very large farms do this in my area - its faster and cheaper to have the city fill that tanker then to wait for a couple hours on the farm well head silo's are for animal fodder or bulk feed sometime silage for cows no that water that is at the stations is not safe to drink
