Description
The traditional agricultural multi-bladed four brace tower windmill is one of the most straightforward, elegant representations of the best of Nebraska. But, while they can be seen dotting the landscape all over the state, most are decorative these days. That’s not the case in the Sandhills, where hundreds, probably thousands, are still at work out here. Farms and ranches use windmills and wind energy to draw their water out of the ground pumping it into low circular metal tanks to water the animals. If it hadn’t been for the invention of the American windmill, the Sandhill would never have been settled.
