Sandhills Windmill
LOOKING Closer
Located on the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Gudmundsen Sandhills Laboratory, this camera location looks north upon an icon of the Nebraska Sandhills – the windmill. The windmill pulls up clear cold water from the aquifer below, a reliable water supply in a semi-arid landscape. With several windmills spread throughout the ranch property, it becomes possible to graze livestock on a rotational basis throughout the year without overgrazing the Sandhills prairie and its fragile soil.
