In Western Nebraska the past two years see record land leveling on irrigated farms, led by the North Platte Valley with over 8000 acres leveled. Experts cite soil fertility impact, manure, phosphate use, and subsoil considerations as key to sustaining gains and profitability.
Sam Chambers, a Sidney Draw farmer, advocates irrigated brome grass and alfalfa for pasture. He sowed nine acres last spring, harvested pasture and hay last fall, and grazed 35 yearling cattle from early September to mid October, yielding 200 bales from 4 1/2 acres.
The 1249 oat crop for the United States is estimated at 1 380 million bushels, slightly below last year's 1 492 million but 12 percent above the long term average.
Local farmers in Cheyenne County favor the border irrigation method using low parallel dikes to water bordered strips. They report time and labor savings, better yields, and easier irrigation across crops like alfalfa and small grain. Early adopters include Clark Fuller and Sam Chambers, with many others testing the system and projecting countywide use. Telegraph Want Ads Bring Renate
