Greetings- I'm looking to farm 10 acres in Antelope valley and dont have a water or power source. Will be hauling water in and storing in 10k water tanks. What is most reliable and efficient means of powering a drip irrigation system? The land has a natural slope and I've read a gravity system may work but solar or turbine powered? Also which brands manufacture high quality systems? Pumps,lines,batteris,solar?

Coming from an area with 46 inches of rainfall,  I am not going to pretend to know much about irrigation.    But to move this on a little, how much land do you plan to have in crops?  What crops are you planning on raising?

Some people age like fine wine. I aged like milk … sour and chunky.

 
I knew I would regret that burrito. But this tiny ad has never caused regrets:
