Nebraska river floods ruin 1997 harvest for farmers
In Ebraska City Nebraska the Missouri River remains above flood control levels as the 1997 harvest yields disappoint. Robert and Gary Schemmel harvest nothing on hundreds of acres while John Crook expects no 50 000 income from 120 acres due to persistent flooding and wet fields. The U S Army Corps of Engineers moves flood water from six dams to clear reservoirs before spring thaw, leaving lowland farmers unable to work fields or pay taxes.
