Dakota Improved Seed Co. plans seed production and model farm
The Dakota Improved Seed Co. organized in the city last fall aims to become a leading state industry. Prof. W. A. Wheeler, manager, is arranging contracts with farmers to grow acclimated seed in northern and southern regions. A quarter-section farm near the city will produce seed under M. J. McCormick with Wheeler directing. A large storage warehouse will be built along Milwaukee tracks to receive seed this fall. Efforts to ensure pure seed promise a boost to the state farming industry amid concerns over fire insurance funding and municipal fire reporting requirements.
