Irrigation Plant Shows Profits For Olson Farm Near Sidney
A detailed report on Olson Sons irrigation setup west of Sidney describes a 12 by 17 foot dug well that now yields reliable water from three artesian spirals. A 10 20 pump powers a single 1 5 inch pipe system, enabling irrigation for 160 acres with potential for 40 more after grading. Estimated costs and 210 dollars monthly during dry seasons are offset by increased potato and alfalfa yields, with 12 acres producing about 200 bushels of potatoes and overall annual crop gains suggesting strong profitability for future farmers adopting similar plants.
