Old Country Heritage - AI+digital artwork by Donna Kennedy-edited in PS and Topaz Studio…
The windmill was a common fixture on Great Plains farms, drawing water for cattle and making livestock ownership possible in the relatively dry areas of the West. Windmills underwent several changes over the years, one of the most significant being a switch from wood to steel in construction. Windmills are not as common as they used to be. The peak of windmill usage on farms across America came in the 1930s. But they’re still out there! Interest in alternative energy sources has also led to a revival of interest in windmills. Some inventive individuals have even built their own wind-powered pumps. There’s certainly no shortage of wind in Kansas, or in many other parts of the Great Plains, for that matter. Perhaps it’s an idea to consider, that old-fashioned windmills are a significant part of our heritage, well worth preserving.
