Wells and Water on the Farm


Listen Later

The whine of windmills, pumpjacks and electric pumps supply water to Rural Route addresses across the country. Simple math played out daily, if 5 gallons of water equals a gallon of milk. How much milk is produced by 50 gallons of water? Arriving in pipes and faucets from a well source up to
