Windmills Bring Prosperity to Western Farms
A Chicago Herald report notes windmills raise western Kansas and Nebraska farms by lifting groundwater to irrigation, boosting acre values from 15 to 20 dollars and enabling 25 to 35 acres of irrigation on a half section. The piece cites experiments showing one to three acres irrigable per mill, with five to six mills supporting wetter and drier periods. It contrasts past drought and failed upland farming with windmill powered irrigation and a revived prairie economy.
