We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
Fair Game
WMT's Bob Nance was at Hawkeye Downs last month as the grand champion baby beef was chosen at the AU-Iowa Fair. A shorthorn exhibited by John Stoner of Mt. Vernon, Iowa, won the slap of approval from the judge, who just missed our Bob, also in the ring to broadcast the champ's reactions.
Dean Borg and Jerry Brady provided WMT listeners with a beef's eye report from the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines as a Hereford owned by Doug Simons of Marcus, Iowa, got the winning nod.
Steve Padgitt, WMT Scholarship winner (summer employment at WMT and all the live bulls he can lift), managed WMT's 18th Annual Gadget Show at the State Fair. Winner was Junior Coon of Morning Sun, Iowa, with a hydraulic post driver. (Winning is a habit with Mr. Coon — his brush grubber won a fourth prize in the open class in 1953.)
The four ag college graduates who man our Farm Service Department covered 36 county and state fairs this year, traveling 6,500 miles in the fair month of August with mikes in hand. They get about 100 miles to the hour of air time from 56,000 miles of yearly event-hopping: programs daily at dawn's crack waking up Iowa's dirty capitalists, market reports and other tidbits at noon, special events any time. They provide informed reporting for WMTland-46 Eastern Iowa counties and eight in Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin — and contribute to WMT's balanced programing for a balanced industrial/ urban/farm market.
