Nebraska state stamp features irrigation equipment
April 16, 2010
The US Postal Service is releasing a series of state-themed stamps, and Nebraska is among the latest states to be featured. The Cornhusker State stamp
prominently features center-pivot irrigation, which reflects its status as the
state with the most irrigated acres in the entire country. While we do supply a range of
pumps and other products for agriculture, our interest in irrigation is driven more by its relationship to
municipal water supplies. Irrigation consumes the
lion's share of Nebraska's groundwater -- more than 20 times the amount used for public, domestic, and industrial applications combined.
