About Rob Smith Irrigation

North of town, where the fields open up toward Sugar Lake, a northwest wind will rebuild a drift across a section road faster than anybody can clear it twice. Rob Smith Irrigation runs the storms out there — plowing driveways and yard approaches, pushing the banks back off the corners so the wind doesn't just hand it all back, opening the way to the mailbox and the barn. The work happens at odd hours, mostly in the blue light before sunrise or long after supper, heater going and the radio low. Wright County storms tend to arrive politely, all afternoon, then finish overnight in a hurry. Clearing what's left before the school bus comes through is the whole aim, in Maple Lake, Annandale, South Haven and Monticello.
