Opposition to the Oahe project was intense and well organized. After four years of bitter competition, an energetic and resourceful grassroots group, United Family Farmers, wrested control of the Oahe conservancy district board, a government agency that had been an ardent supporter of the irrigation project. That political triumph led to the only victory in the West by a grassroots group over the Bureau of Reclamation and the irrigation and business establishment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Carrels\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080326397X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803263970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 247\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.95h x 5.97w x 0.56d","brand":"Peter Carrels","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947203756287,"sku":"9780803263970","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ac87ff16-30a1-4547-b8a3-55c6902d8b0f.jpg?v=1681517339","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/uphill-against-water-peter-carrels-9780803263970","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
