Altus Dam Nears Finish After Fifty Year Dream
The Lugert Altus irrigation project nears completion under Governor Kerr's inspection. It covers 60 000 to 70 000 acres in the Red River watershed and promises crop gains, 2 500 new jobs, and stabilized economies in Jackson Greer and Kiowa counties. The system includes a 100 foot dam, 340 miles of canals, and water delivery to farms with four inch irrigation.
