Dow Corning bought 70 NOAA weather radios and distributed them to hospitals, schools, nursing homes, day care centers, churches, fire departments, and government buildings in the area. The mayor, a county judge, the local police chief, NWS personnel, and Dow Corning employees went through the community in small groups distributing the radios along with NWS pamphlets. Each organization that received a radio was educated on how to use the radio, the timely information it would provide, and how to respond to warnings issued.

This page is to answer those common, and maybe not so common, questions about Alaska Grown products and the agricultural industry in Alaska. Please submit your questions to the Alaska Grown Information Forum. Your question may be reviewed by local experts from the University of Alaska Fairbanks - School of Agriculture and Land Resources Management, Cooperative Extension Service, Alaska Department of Natural resources Division of Agriculture. - - Online forum for Alaska Agriculture Why are Alaska carrots so big? Along with the long summer days and cool climate that Alaska is famous for, the carrots simply do not know when to quit growing. Carrot varieties that perform well in Alaska's far north climate, along with a good farm management plan, proper fertilization and adequate watering together with the 18-20 hour day lengths develop the best carrots in the world. How BIG was the GIANT cabbage at the 2001 Alaska State Fair. The 92.5 pound cabbage was grown by Seth Dinkle, a third grader from Palmer, Alaska. Seth is a third generation giant cabbage grower. His cabbage last year was even bigger, 94.4 lb., but he only won second place to Barbara Everingham's 105.6 lb. cabbage. 2001 second place went to Robert Thom, 71.4 lb., third place: Mary Evens 70.4 lb.
