Krupp and vicinity as a wheat and irrigation hub
The Krupp area in Douglas County thrives on volcanic ash soil for wheat with yields of 20 to 30 bushels per acre, expanding to 750000 bushels last crop. Urquhart and Peterson families dominate stock and wool, while irrigation and river water support a growing town with four wheat buyers, banks, stores, and a future mill site along the Great Northern line.
