Dam project plans to curb farm flood damage
Flood waters from pasture land threaten cropland and ranch headquarters with crop loss, soil erosion, and damaged buildings. Cheyenne County Soil Conservation District official Roger Plantz notes a heavy rain on 90 acres could send 15 acre feet of water through a farmstead at 50 cubic feet per second. A previous dam failed to stop downstream damage, so a larger dam is being built with a spillway to divert overflow behind another dam on Booth Ranch east of Sund.

Mr Plantz notes the project will cost 1209 dollars total once finished. The Agriculture Stabilization Conservation program will finance about zero percent of the construction costs. He adds that a single year of damaging floods causes more harm than the dam’s expense and that such construction will preserve fertile soil and ensure a bountiful future.
