Experimental Farm Assured for Marshfield Project
County and city funds plus voluntary contributions raise about $1,000 to complete a purchase price of $8,500 for a 40 acre experimental farm near Marshfield. The site, chosen by University of Wisconsin experts, includes parts of the Heckel and John Hoffman tracts and a swap with the asylum. The farm will study soil and farming methods, benefit local farmers, and promote city publicity through bulletins. An endorsement from a Wood County farmer highlights expected gains from a permanent agricultural station and improved potato practices.
