Unable to conceive after the birth of her first child, she had been taking a fertility drug called Clomid. When it proved ineffective, doctors switched her to Pergonal,* which frequently causes a woman to release more than one egg a month and has been linked to previous multiple births.

Ray Hanson's penalties were heavy and Fred Stanek was declared the winner. He had husked a net load of 2,123.8 Ib., 30.34 bu. of grain. Farmers felt that he could have equalled the all-time record of 35.8 bu. set by Elmer Williams of Illinois ("The Praying Husker") in 1925 had Farmer Palmer's stand...
