One thing I didn't point out in my answer about why hex wouldn't work is that a single pivot does not to irrigate an entire section of land (a section is 1 square mile) [1]. Some pivots will irrigate a quarter of a section, but even this is rare. The standard pivot with a corner system [2] and will cover 152 acres out of a 160 acre field. Roughly a quarter of a one mile section. [1] At least in Nebraska, I don't know about the rest of the country/world. My source is my brother-in-law a 5th generation farmer. [2] Basically a swingarm that extends the effective length of the pivot for better corner coverage Edit: hit enter too soon.
