Thus isnt flood water. This is the water table of the Ogallala Aquifer this summer. Been like this for 2-3 months.

I listened to some ranchers talk about blowing up railroad tracks about 20 years ago in a bar. Railroad was talking about drilling water wells on their right of way and hauling the water to Denver. They were not drunk smiling or laughing. With the aquifer that full again it may come up again.

Been like that since the big blizzard this spring, the company my dad worked for was trying to pump it but don’t make any head way. Meadows all over north
Central Nebraska are lakes. Drove through valentine last weekend and there was a river running in the north road ditch east of the Niobrara, never seen that before. The Niobrara was the highest I have ever seen, norden bridge was really cool but a little scary also, crazy amount of water

You'd never guess who has bought as much land as they can over the Ogallala Aquifer. Would you believe...………..Ted Turner. No joke.

Then the creep won't allow any usage of any game. He owns land all over the west, and locks it up so no one can hunt, fish or trap. A real jewel!

I just read a post on here yesterday where a guy bought some land and everyone was telling him to fence it, post it, and get a big gate,chain and lock.

Ted Turner is all about buffalo/bison. Buffalo Commons was his big deal a few years back.
