Wisconsin river valley land transformed by drainage projects
Ex-Congressman Dawson reports dramatic change in the drained Wisconsin river valley as cranberry lands give way to rich alluvial fields. Davenport buyers flood Monroe Clark Jackson and Juneau counties for crop and dairy farming with steam plows. Land values rise from 20 to 30 dollars per acre for new land and 75 to 80 dollars for seasoned plots. Wheat yields reach 20 bushels per acre and timothy hay 2 to 3 tons per acre. The Davenport Democrat note appears. Dated August 29.
