Click on At Issue and Under the Agridome for some great pieces this week.  You might wonder about that “bomb” in the field picture by clicking on the Agridome.  That’s a real explosion which took place back in the early 1980’s.  Contractors were brought in who blew up an old silo with dynamite.  I guess you could say the camera was clicked just at the right time!  I’ve included this pic below.
