LYIP Begins Rocking

Lower Yellowstone Irrigation Project started rocking the Yellowstone River Monday, July 25. The almost yearly event begins with mining the huge rock, identifying low spots by boat and then using a trolley system to deliver the rock to where it is needed.

Adding rock raises the water level at a crucial time for irrigators and it helps protect against ice floes in the spring.
