On the sidebar of one of the sections of the paper today there was an article entitled "Lady Bird's Wildflower Legacy In Nebraska". The article doesn't seem to be in the online version of the paper.
According to the article, Nebraska "started planting native grasses in the mid-1960's and wildflowers in 1971". They are planted on new projects or whenever a highway is widened. The species being planted can be found
here.The article cites the following roadways as the best for viewing wildflowers:
Nebraska 2 from Grand Island to Alliance
US 20 from Valentine to Chadron
US 83 from McCook to Valentine
US 6 from Imperial to McCook
Nebraska 8 from Falls City to Fairbury
Nebraska 11 from Scotia through Burwell to Butte in Boyd County
Nebraska 61 from Ogallala to Merriman
Nebraska 71 from Gering to Crawford
Nebraska 12 from Ponca to Valentine
