Thirty Mile Canal irrigation changes Nebraska farming
Gothenburg workers on 15 000 acres south of the Platte have water from a private 30 mile canal. One year crop failure costs exceed 350 000 dollars while insurance costs 350 000. Farmers paid 12 50 an acre cash with notes. Yant Construction of Omaha built the canal in nine months, with 300 workers, 45 miles of laterals, 1 500 structures and 100 bridges. The project aims to enrich Platte valley land now graded as semi arid.
