Irrigation Ditch Proposal Prompts Kansas Boost
The Wichita Eagle reports Western Kansas advocates push a 200 mile ditch to irrigate 1,430,000 acres near the Arkansas river from Las Animas Colorado to Kinsley Kansas. They claim land values would rise by about 20 million dollars and tax revenue would cover government costs. Support comes from Rep Madison and local officials as irrigation could drain floodwater and unlock farming potential in a drought prone district.
