I didn't know Nebraska was so dry. Been reading Allen's post for awhile and it seems like it's so dry you couldn't spit if you wanted to. I thought it was the corn state. Maybe it varies in what region your in? Also I read a dirt bike magazine article once and they were talking about riding in Nebraska and said that if you spin your wheel the thin top layer of top soil would come off and it was nothing but sand under it and it would blow away. I didn't realize that was the case there...maybe I should have paid more attention in school.

While crisscrossing the Western part of the state a few years back, we stopped and had buffalo burgers at some resturant. I remember a polar bear looking over our booth. Great spot, I think it was near the mile wide, inch deep Platte river.

Probably Ole's Big Game Lounge at Paxton. I have not been in there in 25 years.

It gets dry as you head west. And the soil varies just as much.

Iowa is the corn state. Nebraska is the cornhusker state. We grow it in Iowa, they shuck it in Nebraska.

It is partly the corn state - the corn drying state, They ship all the corn from the corn belt to Nebraska to dry it, hoping some of the moisture will fall back as rain.

Speaking as one who lives next to NM - it's not like you New Mexicans have any rain to brag about! ha...

We don't either in the north Texas Panhandle.

It's so dry here - I had to throw an old wheel under the high-lift jack for traction while changing sprinkler wheels for wheat sowing to keep it from mushing around in the powder...

There are actually two Nebraskas. This western side is the desert.

A few years ago, we tried to rip away from the eastern side, but was unable to due logistics problems.

Wyoming didn't want us either. :>(

Allan - How far are you from Pine Bluffs, Wyo? Did you ever know any Jessens (or Jessons)in West Nebraska or Eastern Wyoming?

Not Allen, but I live in Carpenter. Didn't know the Jessens personally just the name. BIG time operators, I think they sold it all off 2 or 3 years ago. They probably farmed 15-20,000 acres between the dryland and irrigated.
