Drive for an hour in any part of Nebraska and you will likely see at least one Windmill. Most are installed in the middle of fields to pump water into tanks for grazing cattle. (Sidebar: Today there are a number of Wind Generators popping up in the state – maybe that is why we have so much wind… with all these wind “generators” generating wind. :grin:)
Most of the existing windmills are built from metal, but occasionally we drive by one built of wood. Again, they are usually in the middle of an open field. This picture is of a windmill that is nestled amongst a number of trees. I wonder which came first, the trees or the windmill.
WINDMILLS , I SUPPOSE THEY ARE A THING OF THE PAST – BUT A FEW YEARS AGO THEY WERE NEEDED TO PUMP WATER AND I GUESS EVERY FARM/RANCH HAD MORE THAN ONE .
