Barbed Wire
From the Ag Information Network, I’m Bob Larson. Barbed wire is an indispensable part of many farms across rural America.
And, if you done any work on a farm, you’ve undoubtedly gotten tangled up in barbed wire a time or two. But where did we get barbed wire?
Highlighting the history of barbed wire begins with a story from the Joseph Glidden Homestead and History Center in the northern Illinois town of DeKalb …
LaRUE-1 = 29 … “ … history demonstrations.”
Jessi LaRue is the executive director of the Glidden Homestead and Historical Center, where they are celebrating what they call “150 Years of the Winner” …
LaRUE-2 = 21 … “ … of that.”
The barbed wire story is pretty well ingrained in the DeKalb community. In fact, the team nickname of DeKalb High School athletics is “the Barbs”.
