High Plains Goal:
Managing Ogallala Aquifer
Tommy Horton
But, in anticipation of producers someday tapping into the Dockum Aquifer, Texas AgriLife Research cotton breeder Jane Dever and predecessor John Gannaway have developed methodology for identification of germplasm that has more tolerance to salinity.
As for how seriously producers view the water situation on the High Plains, most believe they are good stewards.
Producer Steve Newsom of Level-land says most of his farmer friends eagerly embrace technology for "more than just economic gain."
"We have long-term objectives as farmers," he says. "Our actions speak pretty loud, in my opinion. We'll do anything that helps us save water."
