Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cache la Poudre River drains 1,890 square miles of land in the Mummy and Never Summer ranges in Colorado and Wyoming. It begins on the Continental Divide, flows through mountain canyons on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and onto the plains, before joining the South Platte River. American settlers first diverted the Poudres water into ditches and canals to facilitate irrigation on the plains in the early 1860s. This examination of the water delivery system of the Cache la Poudre which includes small ditches, large canals, and reservoirs documents the use of the water for agriculture, municipal, industrial and recreational use. A synthesis of information from public sources such as university libraries, local history archives, the Colorado State Archives, the Colorado State University Water Resources Archive, and the Denver Public Library's Western History Department, this environmental history addresses the development of the water delivery system; the impact of the delivery system on society, economy, laws, technology, hydrology, and the environment; and some attention to Colorado water law.

Download or read book Cattle Beet Capital written by Michael Weeks and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2022-07 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1870 several hundred settlers arrived at a patch of land at the confluence of the South Platte and Cache la Poudre Rivers in Colorado Territory. Their planned agricultural community, which they named Greeley, was centered around small landholdings, shared irrigation, and a variety of market crops. One hundred years later, Greeley was the home of the world's largest concentrated cattle-feeding operation, with the resources of an entire region directed toward manufacturing beef. How did that transformation happen? Cattle Beet Capital is animated by that question. Expanding outward from Greeley to all of northern Colorado, Cattle Beet Capital shows how the beet sugar industry came to dominate the region in the early twentieth century through a reciprocal relationship with its growers that supported a healthy and sustainable agriculture while simultaneously exploiting tens of thousands of migrant laborers. Michael Weeks shows how the state provided much of the scaffolding for the industry in the form of tariffs and research that synchronized with the agendas of industry and large farmers. The transformations that led to commercial feedlots began during the 1930s as farmers replaced crop rotations and seasonal livestock operations with densely packed cattle pens, mono-cropped corn, and the products pouring out of agro-industrial labs and factories. Using the lens of the northern Colorado region, Cattle Beet Capital illuminates the historical processes that made our modern food systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation in Northern Colorado The Laurel sandy loam is an alluvial soil and occurs in a strip one-half to 1 mile wide in the river bottoms. It ranges in depth from 2 to 5 feet, and is dark brown to black in color. The soil be comes more sandy with depth, passing gradually into coarse sand and water-worn gravel. This soil is not very well drained and the water table is near the surface the greater part of the year. Only small areas, however, are affected by alkali. This soil is particularly well adapted to cabbages, onions, and sugar beets. The Fort Collins loam occurs in small areas north of Greeley and in the vicinity of Fort Collins. It consists of a reddish to a very dark brown light loam, from 4 inches to 1 foot in thickness, under lain by a layer of heavy loam from 1 to 4 feet in thickness. Below this layer of loam the subsoil grades again into a light loam extend ing to a depth of 6 feet or more. The soil is very sticky when wet and bakes badly. It is fairly well drained, is affected by alkali in small areas only, and is adapted to fruits, grain, potatoes, alfalfa, and sugar beets.
