Engineering work puts roving river back in own red
In Kansas T Marys on March 28 the Kellner farm near the Kaw river benefited from steel jetty works that trapped sediment and reclaimed 149 acres, swelling the farm to about 300 acres. The system narrows channels, deposits fertile soil, and allows crops to return with corn and pasture planned for spring. The project raised Kellner’s land value and expanded his holdings significantly.
