Agronomist Warns of Dry Ten Year Window Ahead
Dr Franklin Keim head of the University of Nebraska agronomy department urged farmers to prepare for a possible drought. He cautioned that dry cycles are not easy to time but noted a decade or more of wet weather may precede dry conditions. He advised saving roughage, planting grain sorghums, practicing water conservation, early plowing, and weed control. Lincoln area rainfall ran about 70 percent of normal while the southwest saw 60 percent. Many Nebraska farmers hold 1952 corn for winter livestock feed, reluctant to turn it over to the government.
