I'm 1% Away From Desert Water

Thank you Nitto Tire for Sponsoring! See a full list of sizes and learn more at https://bit.ly/42zIfhv - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - We are on the final step of our water well saga.... The 4-hour pump-down test will determine what is our actual flow rate. But dirty water and a sudden rainstorm brought the drillers to a screeching halt :( Meanwhile, the clock officially ran out on our September 15th deadline for Northfield. Because we are nearly a month behind schedule, we lost our window for establishing our native seed bank and are forced to pivot entirely to winter crops. I’ve been starting my shifts at 3:45 AM just to beat the 102-degree heat, but the brutal "caliche" soil cement is taking a massive toll on the machinery. In a single week of pushing dirt, we cracked the dozer's fuel lines, blew a hydraulic cylinder, and completely tore the lifting mechanism off the tractor's box blade. We are down a bulldozer, down a tractor, and completely out of time. Will we pull this through? 👉 If you want to help decide our next actions, head over to Team Dustups to cast your vote!
