Hints to Settlers on the North Platte Project, Nebraska

J. A. Warren

No 391349, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: The conditions in the North Platte Valley are in many respects similar to those where irrigation is now established around Wheatland, Wyo., and Greeley, Fort Morgan, and Sterling, Colo. On account of the similarity in conditions, the experience of farmers in these districts furnishes a good source of information as to what may be expected in the North Platte Valley. Furthermore, throughout nearly the entire length of this Project, ditches established by private enterprise have been in successful operation for a number of years. These older ditches have already reclaimed the first bottom and lower terraces, leaving the land to be reclaimed by the Government enterprise mostly upon the second terrace and higher levels. The suggestions which follow are based upon the experience of successful farmers in the immediate vicinity of this Project and in other similar localities.
