Iowa Irrigation & Development

About Iowa Irrigation & Development

Huxley keeps stretching further into the cropground on either side of I-35, and Iowa Irrigation & Development has watched whole blocks go from bare dirt to finished cul-de-sacs within a season, the irrigation lines it laid over the summer now buried under the year's first real snowfall. Winter work here means plowing streets that are sometimes only months old, curbs still sharp-edged and unweathered, driveways serving houses that didn't exist the year before. Frost comes hard and fast to this stretch of Story County once the fields go still for the season, and a fresh subdivision with no windbreak yet catches every bit of wind coming off the open prairie. Clearing those new streets before the morning commute toward Ames or Des Moines means Huxley's newest residents get the same steady start to their day as anyone already living on the block. Growth doesn't pause for winter, and neither does this crew.
