Water
In 2022, the farm received 25 inches of rainfall keeping the static water level at approx. 20ft, making this farm a natural place to grow grass and raise livestock. 2024 looks like it will be another wet one with 17 inches being the average.
Permanent pastures grow tons of feed using 57 acre feet of deeded water rights from a diversion dam on the San Francisco River. The river flows year round as runoff from the 8,000 foot peaks of the Gila National Forest feed it from the east and Apache Sitgreaves Forest from the west.
Plus there is a 12" irrigation well 100' deep that can pump approx. 500 gpm. The grandfathered domestic well is allocated 3.3 acre feet of good water that supplies 2 houses and all the drinkers.
