The Ogallala road : a memoir of love and reckoning / Julene Bair. by Bair, Julene. Viking, c2014. Call #: 636 B163o Subjects Bair, Julene.   Agriculture -- Environmental aspects -- United States.   Agricultural conservation -- United States.   Family farms.   Farm life.   Kansas -- Social life and customs.   Ogallala Aquifer. ISBN:  9780670786046 (hc.) 0670786047 (hc.) Description:  278 p. ; 24 cm. Summary:  Julene Bair has inherited part of a farming empire and fallen in love with a rancher from Kansas's beautiful Smoky Valley. She means to create a family, provide her son with the father he longs for, and preserve the Bair farm for the next generation, honoring her own father's wish and commandment, 'Hang on to your land!' But part of her legacy is a share of the ecological harm the Bair Farm has done: each growing season her family--like other irrigators--pumps over two hundred million gallons out of the Ogallala aquifer. The rapidly disappearing aquifer is the sole source of water on the vast western plains, and her family's role in its depletion haunts her. As traditional ways of life collide with industrial realities, Bair must dramatically change course.
