Shownotes

The vintage windmill is a familiar sight that's disappearing from the country, but Curt Arens, editor of Nebraska Farmer, found a museum that honors the tradition of these machines. And if you want to check out images from the museum, visit the slideshow online.

Curt also did a little time traveling by going back into a 1955 edition of Nebraska Farmer to look at the state of irrigation then compared to now. Nebraska is the No. 1 irrigation state, and home to many major pivot manufacturers. He shares his insight on what he learned, including a discussion of how the irrigation industry has changed. And check out his look at the historic rise of irrigation.
