Ditching Machine Work Boosts Northwestern Iowa Drainage
A report from Ringsted area describes the “Swamp Angel” ditching machine built by My Way and A Jensen, plowing a six and a half foot top ditch that narrows to twenty inches bottom, with four horses pulling via two capstans. It drains farmsteads along Jack Creek and nearby sections 23 to 35, with an estimated 1250 acres benefiting, improving roads and land value. Local officials note delays but praise the project as a success and foresee broader impact if more cable is secured.
