I haven't noticed a smell, but the larger area's of alkali are always wet and muddy. They are area's that people stay away from...too bad it's all over the place (especially in area's that have been heavily irrigated). I think irrigation seems to bring that crap to the surface. We have several acre's on our farm that we can't use anymore.

Hoss, do your alkali flats get muddy with rain, and really stink? These ones are mixed with cow patty, so that may help some.

WW...it's that the crud is in the water and gets deposited on the soil that trashes things. Big problem out here on the west side of Fresno County. The ground might as well be concrete 6' down into the soil. All kinds of nasty crud. Biggest problem is selenium running down off of the coastal range. Ever hear of Kesterson Wildlife Refuge? I think it came close to a Superfund site.
They use CAT D9s to rip the ground up out there. Single spike into the ground and full throttle. Sometimes run them hitched together.
Everyone is switching to drip out there. Better yields. No run off. And some use much less water.

I was on the sons 450R[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
Better than being at the hotel doing emails[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Cool, I thought they would be high revving[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]not so good for just trail cruising[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Atleast my trail cruising, I rode with 2 of my daughters Monday, we averaged 11 mph[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] I'd think it would not be all that great then. Now, I am holding out to see what this supposedly new Suzuki 450 is going to be like. I got the ok from the wife to by another Z4?? Might just get the '05 with the new upgrades and let her have my Z400[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] But, then, I think that was my plan back in the beginning[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
