"Some broardacre farmers are looking down the barrel of having a well every 50 acres each with an all weather access road and a dam for holding brine.
This would make it impossible to carry out their farming activities."

Walbrook,

An acquaintance of mine grows anything up to 100k to 120k acres of wheat per year. Now, can you imagine what that would do to his operations, and the headaches it would cause to him during planting and harvesting with all those roads criss-crossing his place?? And what about when it rains, when even a drizzle will cause a nightmare to be driving upon it with all the slipping and sliding on that black soil ?
