Early next year, the nation's two largest meatpackers will test market a new product---ground beef that's been irradiated to kill harmfull bacteria. The Minnesota Beef Council is all for it. The council promotes beef for Minnesota's cattle farmers. This week at the State Fair, the Council is handing out tens of thousands of free samples of irradiated beef. It's the first time irradiated beef has ever been handed out in such quantity to the general public in this country.
In 2008, Minnesota's voters passed the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to the Minnesota Constitution: to protect drinking water sources; to protect, enhance, and restore wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat; to preserve arts and cultural heritage; to support parks and trails; and to protect, enhance, and restore lakes, rivers, streams, and groundwater.
Efforts to digitize this initial assortment of thousands of historical audio material was made possible through the Minnesota Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. A wide range of Minnesota subject matter is represented within this collection.
