My parents drilled a residential well (in the dry, water-obsessed West) ten years ago, and one of the rules is that they can't use it to irrigate more than 0.25 acres. | |

Deeper requires a jet pump or submersible and you start converting to high pressure and using a tank to take advantage of that for accumulating water volume. | |

"Year-round" gets into questions of freezing, though, unless you let all the water drain back below ground when not actively drawing from the well (as would have been the case with traditional hand pumps). | |
