No one in Saskatchewan understood why SHE flooded her own farmland, until the 1988 drought...
In 1981, every farmer in Foam Lake, Saskatchewan walked away from a flooded quarter-section. Audrey Fenwick paid $415 an acre for it — then plugged the drainage ditch herself. Why would anyone do that? Audrey Fenwick had been reading federal wetland research since 1977. What she found convinced her that sixty years of prairie drainage hadn't just removed water — it had quietly dismantled the very system protecting farmland in dry years. Nobody believed her. Until the summer of 1988. The federal report from 1977 that changed how Audrey saw every flooded field in Saskatchewan Why Casimir Nowak spent eight years and six thousand dollars trying to drain land that refused to be drained — and what that told Audrey about what the land actually wanted What Audrey's soil moisture notebooks recorded across four dry summers — and why a University of Regina researcher used her data in two published papers without ever knowing her name
