In Webster County, corn growers are spending over $1 million annually on irrigation as corn is a crop with a large water demand. After conducting on-farm corn irrigation studies in 2025, it was determined that growers may be able to reduce irrigation by as much as 50%, which could result in savings of up to $500,000 for growers in Webster County.
Webster County 4-H had 91 students enrolled in the 2024–2025 year. This year, Webster County boasted two State Congress delegates winning 2nd and 3rd place in the state. Webster County also had high participation in summer activities like creek ecology and community service classes.
