Yanheim Young Farmers Association conducted a tour of Kunzland Co meat facilities with judging and identification. After the tour the group held a picnic and dog roast at Long Park with hot dogs donated by a nearby plant.
The report lists families including Mr. and Mrs. Dean Hoffer and daughter, Mervin Shelly, Mr. and Mrs. Jessie Balmer and family, Vincent Becker, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph McGahan and son, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Nolt, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Hoover, and Mr. and Mrs. Abram Seigrist. It notes farming as the United States' largest industry, employing twelve times as many as steel and nine times as many as autos.
