Presently there is another innovation for makers to consider for saving water, keeping supplements in the root zone and further developing yields. U molded layers introduced at two profundities beneath culturing profundity work ceaselessly to confine/hold up to 90% of applied water for crop use. Created at Michigan State College and tried all over the planet this innovation emphatically further develops water use proficiency and decreases the development of ag synthetic compounds and composts out of the root zone. 

Flooding irrigation, which has already been brought up, is among the worst of its sort. Water wastage, soil degradation, microbial activity, nutrient loss, elevated risk of plant disease infection, and so on and so forth. But if people act in this way, I suppose they are aware of their motivations. Sub irrigation is undoubtedly the best method that does not have any of the aforementioned drawbacks and offers a ton of additional advantages.

Massive irrigation projects have proven quite harmful to the ecosystem. Due to irrigation of water for cotton farms, one of the greatest lakes in the world (Aral Sea) has completely disappeared. I find it incomprehensible why people would continue to act in this manner in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. However, to these people, it makes no difference at all. They only have the word "money" in their minds. For these people, everything else is less important.

One thing to keep in mind is to use a small wire brush to clean the threads on the bolts and nuts before applying penetrating oil to parts that have been exposed to the elements in that way. Most of it will come off more easily if you give it some time to soak in. However, "the one" will always exist.

Discuss with Grant and your father the long-term benefits of: #1 - Every time you have to put a "Never-Seize" product on threads, such as splines, mating surfaces, bolts & studs, etc. This includes any new equipment you may ever have to service. Experience gained through time will be very helpful in the future. #2 - Take into account including a good penetrant in your "GO" kit. Vegetable-based WD-40 is effective, but you'll obtain better overall results—like fewer damaged bolts and studs—if you use a penetrant first on obviously corroded screws, nuts, etc. Thanks for the metal head music, Nebraska Farmer!

A 5 gallon bucket works well as both a tool tote and a catch-all container for liquids, nuts, and bolts. Not to mention that you can use it as a stool when you need a seat because your job is exhausting you.
