(KEARNEY HUB) The Kearney Hub reports "Lower Loup Natural Resources District farmers who applied to add irrigated acres in 2011 may know as early as the Oct. 28 NRD board meeting if their proposals are accepted.
Board members were told at their meeting Thursday in Ord that applications have been received to irrigate about 11,000 new acres, LLNRD General Manager Leon Koehlmoos said.
That compares with 12,925 acres submitted last fall for irrigation in 2010. The 41 applications approved totaled 2,003 acres, with parcels ranging from 4-132 acres and small adjustments on already certified irrigated acres to full pivots.
The application period for 2011 was Sept. 1-20. The LLNRD staff has started ranking applications, which will be pared to the 2,000 acres allowed."
