Weather modification funding in western Kansas counties
Greeley County commissioner Alan Waggoner notes budget pressures led to two years without weather modification funding, but farmers urged its return for 2005. The Western Kansas Groundwater Management District 1 oversees the program in 11 counties, with annual costs from 16 000 to 30 000 dollars and per acre charges for rangeland and cropland. Studies since 1994 show a 27 percent drop in crop damage from hail when seeding is used, though some critics doubt the program’s effectiveness and question rainfall impact.
