Mammoth irrigation plan proposed for Sully and Hughes counties
A Pierre meeting unveiled a two part plan to develop Missouri River power near Little Bend and transmit pumps to Okeboji Creek reservoirs, aiming to supply 100000 horsepower and uplift regional industry. The project, possibly needing a congressional act, could cost 8 million to 9 million and spawn a large population center near Pierre. Also, sheep ranger Amy Jimmey Reynolds reports mountain sheep seen in Bad Lands, with twelve animals captured and corralled on Reynolds’ Cheyenne River ranch, and one old ram among the herd. Reynolds plans to exhibit them in Rapid City.
