Drainage project on Skunk River farm near Pella yields progress
A farm visit to 156 acre Wilco Hettinga property north of town shows drainage work begun in fall 1954 under Project Jacob Dahm. A low dike and three quarter mile of ditches divert water to a sump, drying fields, improving oats and bean plans, and reducing mud holes. Hettinga plans legume rotation to improve soil, while maintaining a neat homestead with REA electricity and a deep well.
