Pilot Polder Andijk

The aim of this prototype is to study the embankments and agriculture for future polders in the Zuiderzee Works.

After the draining was completed, a farm was built as well as laboratories for agriculture, soil science and research in microbiology.

The land became an ordinary farm on 1 November 1935[3] after tests showed that the polder could be cultivated.

With the experience gained in the pilot, development of the polder Wieringermeer was accelerated.

[6] In the late twentieth century the polder became a site for holiday homes.
