Fish hatchery license denied at Delta Farm near Fountain City
The Department of Natural Resources rejected renewing Delta Fish and Fur Farm’s operating license, citing the 160 acre limit on hatcheries and a failed water control structure. The farm, along 4,778 acres near Fountain City, had been privately fished for over six decades and previously had its license revoked in December 1977 after fish from the Trempealeau River were entering farm waters.

Dairyland Power moves to sell delta property for wildlife habitat
Dairyland Power Cooperative of La Crosse bought the farm in 1975 for 1.1 million and will transfer most of the delta to the US Fish and Wildlife Service by March 1979 for waterfowl habitat. The deal leaves about 470 acres at the far west end with the utility, and the hatchery operation shifts to new ownership with James Cady of Peterson, Minn., planning to negotiate post transfer.
