Farm Forced Under Water Near Plymouth County
A South Dakota ranch near Bijoo Hii, 50 miles west of Platte, faces 40 feet of floodwater as the dam project submerges bottom lands. Mr. and Mrs. Dolor Turgeon own the 6,000 acre ranch once praised for its bottom land and hills. They, like many farmers upriver, expected fair compensation rather than loss of their finest land. The water already floods the barn, and the house will sit beneath the rising lake.
