Alliance Area Irrigation Booms With 76 Wells in County
A nine year survey by the Department of Interior notes Box Butte county has 76 irrigation wells, with over 7000 acre feet drawn annually. The report credits the Times-Herald for promoting wells and controlled watering. By June 1946 more than 9000 acres were irrigated, 65 of the wells drilled since 1936. Groundwater and rainfall recharge suggest irrigation will grow as farmers shift from dryland farming.
