A Photo Of The Great Plains, With A Family In The Foreground. The Ogallala Road: A Story Of Love Family And The Fight To Keep The Great Plains From Running Dry

The Great Plains are a vast and beautiful region of the United States, stretching from the Rocky Mountains to the Mississippi River. It is a land of rolling hills, endless prairies, and crystal-clear rivers. But the Great Plains are also a land that is under threat. Climate change is causing the region to become drier and hotter, and the Ogallala Aquifer, which supplies water to millions of people and acres of farmland, is being depleted.

In the midst of this crisis, one family is fighting to keep their land and their way of life. The Jensens have been farming in the Great Plains for generations, and they are determined to keep their family farm going. But it is becoming increasingly difficult. The droughts are getting longer and more severe, and the water table is dropping. The Jensens are facing a choice: they can either give up and sell their farm, or they can fight to keep it.

The Jensens are choosing to fight.

They are also fighting against the construction of new pipelines that would divert water away from the Great Plains.
