First Kroy sprinkler units to South Africa shipped from Sidney
A shipment of the Kroy irrigation system left Sidney Manufacturing Co in a plywood crate bound for South Africa. The launch included a champagne bottle smashing ceremony, postponed when the bottle broke off the tape and struck the pavement. Alf Berndt Count von Merveldt promotes the project, with Connie Larsen and John Marrin present. Von Merveldt estimates about 19 more systems will depart Sidney over the next year at an overall cost around six thousand dollars plus ten thousand for the unit itself, not including pipe. Wulf notes Diamond Shamrock and Energy Reserve join the oil exploration effort in northwest Nebraska with plans for granite tests 5,000 to 6,500 feet deep in Dawes and Sioux counties amid limited prior drilling and government hurdles.
