I was thinking about how we would get new farming methods early to Denmark, and one of them was immigration of Netherlanders in the early 17th century, by that time both the Spanish clover and potatoes was cultivated in Netherland, beside that their draining tectics would also be useful. Of course we would need a place which lend it self well to Nederlandish farming. And I think I found the perfect place Lolland-Falster:
It is flat, calciumrich, sandy with lots of wetland, it would be like home for the Netherlanders.
In the the periode from 1594-1631 it was ruled by dowagerqueen Sophie of Mecklenburg-Güstrow, she seem like a person which could have seen the oppotunity in develop her personal domain. So is it realistic that she invites a few hundreds Netherlanders to her domain around 1600 against giving them some tax exception and free land, and that she begin draining project of the wetlands in her domain?
