Army engineers tour Texas High Plains agricultural system
A touring U S Army Corps of Engineers team met economists from Texas Tech and Plains Cotton Growers to review how farm output drives the Lubbock trade area economy with cotton supplying a large share of crop income while water planning aims to move Mississippi River water and ease shortages. The visit included local officials and Army officials detailing irrigation expansion projections and high plains cotton value from 1966 to 1969 as Labor Day week discussions touched on school hair policy amid district dress code debates.
