Drainage Boosts Crops and Wildlife on New Glarus Farm
Eldon Thacker and his father-in-law Peter Klassy, aided by the Soil Conservation Service, have drained peat bottomlands near New Glarus to lift corn yields while preserving wildlife. They installed over two miles of tile at 3200 dollars, turning 23 acres from marsh to fields yielding 80 to 100 bushels per acre. Wildlife, especially pheasants, has increased due to better cover and feed, with guidance on leaving standing grain and adding wildlife-friendly features.
