Brookhart Offer Faces Drainage Cost Burden in Iowa Lands
The Winnissick bottoms case is examined as Senator Brookhart offers a 30 cent settlement to EB Meredith. The 240 acre farm sits on drained swamp land near Keokuk Lake with costly pumping and levee needs. Taxes totaling about 267,8446 for 246 acres loom, while drainage and operation costs erode any farming profit despite rich crops and wildlife value. The piece questions the feasibility of turning swamp into arable land and whether Brookhart will accept the settlement offer.
