Ten to 20 eastern Laramie County agriculture producers who farm in western Nebraska will have chance to give input on how irrigation water is allocated. Every third year, the South Platte Natural Resources district allocates water resources to producers on a per-acre basis in western Nebraska.

The second quarter wasn’t much better with the Broncs completing the second half down 12-33. It was a different second half, how...
