Plant I worked at in Green Bay Wisconsin had two "100 year floods" in 7 years, it was outside the normal flood plane when it was built in the 30's but subsequent construction on lower ground in the area (after said lower ground was filled) shifted us into flood planes. The addition of 4 lane highways also effected where water went during the rains. Not to whine because most of this land had been sold off by the owners of the plant, members of the family admitted they made almost as much money on land sales as they did in the business in the 50's and 60's. I'm not a big fan of government flood insurance, I feel they should offer the subsidy on insurance to those structures already built on a flood plane, when redevelopment or road construction shifts the plane the builders of the projects should "buy" the liability of the changed flood plane either by paying for private flood insurance for the effected properties or paying the current owners a one time fee to subsidize the property owner's assumption of flood liability. New construction in flood planes should only be allowed if the developers pay for a private flood insurance.
Yes I know I've mentioned private flood insurance, that doesn't currently exist,that's something that should be changed.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
