Mills of Plymouth County Rise and Decline in Wheat Era
Iowa historian Jacob Swisher noted a shift from oats and wheat to corn and hogs. Early mills began as wind powered in 1859 at Melbourne, with Le Mars’ Gehlen mill evolving to steam power by 1873, expanding capacity and distribution before decline after 1909. The Burns Plymouth Roller Mill (1880s) became major but faded by 1929, burning in 1943 and reopening as a feed plant. The story traces damming Floyd river, water wheels, and a changing agricultural base across Plymouth County.
