Prairie Dogs and Ground Squirrels Threat to West Crops
Agricultural note for Cheyenne County farmers outlines the damage caused by prairie dogs and ground squirrels, citing $300 million in US crop losses before 1917 and a 1917 federal drive that reduced infestations. It reports 19,117,737 acres treated with poison and 15,172,709 acres follow-up, totaling 1,610 tons of poisoned grain. Kansas efforts reduced prairie dogs but neglect risks reinfestation, with focus now on remaining towns to prevent recurrence.
