Liminka

This location is mentioned in the following paragraphs:

(§950) 9th. Travelled from Torneå to KEMI where there was a great salmon fishery - hence the saying "richer than the Kemi salmon fishery, the meadows at Limingö and the fields at Storkyros".

(§1087) The LIMINGO grasslands began here and they cover a much bigger area than those at either Övertorne or Rödbäck. The land was very marshy to start with, full of horse-tail and with such an abundance of 'Arundo' [Reed] in particular that it resembled a forest. 'Circutaria aquatica' [Cowbane] was growing by the road in great quantities. I asked whether there were any deaths among the cattle and they answered: "Yes. Do you know anything that would help?. So-and-so has lost so many etc".

(§1089) The grassland at LIMINGO extends for 13 miles. The ground is a little higher round the village of Limingo. The best part of it, that which is a little drier and higher though considerably damaged by tussocks, has been taken into use for grazing. If it was cultivated in triple rotation in the Skåne manner, it would produce excellent oats. They said they would be able to ditch and drain the large marshland by the coast but are afraid of white moss which would prevent them getting a crop.
