Aeration increases yield, so much so

4hp per acre x 6 acres = 24hp running 24 hrs.

I didn't hear how much it costs to run those tractors over the wind blowing throughout the video.

What would it cost to build small air pump windmills, or is that impractical?

You'd think the addition would increase yield, and partly offset the cost of running 4hp areators.

A very clear, concise and interesting explanation od Aquaculture concerns. Thank you for sharing these techniques with the World.
