Irrigated soybeans in Keith County, Nebraska are watered by the Ogallala Aquifer. The vast underground reservoir reaches as far south as Texas, where it has declined as much as 36% since the 1950s. In Nebraska, the Ogallala has decreased by just 0.34% on average, according to analysis of U.S. Geological Survey reports, although the state’s southwest counties are showing a much greater decline.
