Iowa Farming King Bir Wheeler Aims Big Dairy Venture
Hiram C. Wheeler, once farming king of Iowa, sold his 6000 acre Iowa farm and plans a spring exit from farming to invest in a large Texas dairy operation. A former Illinois grower, Wheeler built a three ranch system in Iowa, hired superintendents, and relied on market reading and a network of agricultural informants to guide his decisions. He contemplates another run for governor, though political defeats loom in his past.

Hiram C Wheeler Farm Innovator and Speculator
Hiram C Wheeler built a diversified Iowa farming empire through smart promotions and telephoned management. He boosted popcorn acreage to a $7,000 profit, modernized machinery, and shipped horses from Europe. He later branched into dairying, sold his Iowa farm, and began buying 10,000 acres in Texas near Galveston to run a 1,000-cow dairy, with his son set to lead the firm.
