Irrigation Plans Highlight Nebraska Growth and Market Cautions
South Omaha readers are urged to study cattle market realities as grass fed stock may mislead buyers. The State Journal notes a large irrigation proposal for North Platte Valley by James Baxter seeking water for 75 miles of ditches to irrigate 60,000 acres, costing about 315000 dollars, with two million cubic yards of earth to move and a two year timeline.
