LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Four Nebraska farmers are demanding compensation from the state because it diverted irrigation water away from their crops to comply with the Republican River Compact.
The farmers allege in a lawsuit that their yields were lower last year because they were denied access to water that could have been stored in nearby dams and canals. Nebraska released the water downstream to Kansas to meet its obligations under the 1943 river compact.
