May Provide 'Silver Lining' For Clouds at Farm Bureau Meeting
A discussion session at the Farm Bureau office explored bringing a protonal rainmaker to the area with Dr. J. L. De Santo of Denver Water Development Corp. The plan, backed by federal funds potential, cites a 10 to 17 percent rainfall increase and would cover Plymouth and Sioux counties' combined 826,000 agricultural acres. Generators would be located up to 30 miles away, releasing silver iodide into clouds to seed rain, with no aircraft used.
