"The only thing I know about Ogalalla is that Sprague used tom have a large capacitor factory there."

Really? I know about it because it is key to North Texas agriculture. In the early 1980s, they started to talk about it because it was felt that North Texas farmers were taking more than their share.

Which, they likely were. It is pretty close to the surface there and they had more money than the farmers in adjacent states. California had shown that with enough water, what would otherwise be desert can bloom.
