[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 301642, member: 367"] Speaking as one farmer (retired) to another, I remember back in the 70s and 80s watching the planes seed the clouds for hours at a time. I was intrigued by the planes flying right along the leading edge of the thunderheads and disappearing and reappearing again but there was little to no documentation on results. I do remember a stretch of crops east of Parshall that got totally hailed out year after year , I always thought it couldn't be a coincidence. I can't seem to find a white paper or a balance sheet or anything that proves it's a viable program. Even a pamphlet that describes the process and results as a way to promote it would be nice if you can point me in that direction. All I would need is solid proof that it's a worthy program for ND and not just a few farmers and I would be on board . I guess since I don't understand the economics of it, it seems like spending state and county money on drain tile in the RR valley so farmers don't need to buy flood insurance. Who knows, Maybe we do ? [/QUOTE]
