Abstract
Portable systems for sprinkling agricultural crops were first used in the Sacramento Valley of California in 1931, although in 1930 there were a few scattered installations in the southern part of the state. Sprinkling with stationary systems had been confined largely to citrus orchards and truck crops because of the relatively high investment required. Low-cost portable systems, however, made sprinkling a feasible method of irrigating large acreages of field crops such as beans, peas, onions, and sugar beets.
