Gravity Irrigation Of Valley For Sixty Miles Is Advocated By Green
Farmers may now feel safe about planting wheat anywhere in Nebraska as the Hessian fly danger fades. The University of Nebraska entomology department reports fly activity ending by Sept 19 with adults mostly emerged from flax seed stages. Western Nebraska sees a fly free date around Sept 15, earlier this year due to favorable wheat germination weather. Entomologists note the fly’s three day lifespan means danger ends by Monday, and the date guides farmers planting nonresistant wheat varieties across the state.

Gravity irrigation scheme for Lodgepole Valley advocated
Charles D. Green urges a gravity driven irrigation system to serve a sixty mile strip in the Lodgepole Valley using surface and underground water. He cites three production sites near Lodgepole, Point of Rocks, and Sidney with a large reservoir near Lodgepole and a standstill in pumping due to limited subterranean flow. He notes nineteen tests near Lodgepole confirm ample underground supply and says the project would mostly finance itself, transforming dry farms into irrigated land while stressing safety against drought.
