Aug. 17, 2011: Miss America, Teresa Scanlan of Nebraska, visited Cinnamon Ridge Dairy Farm in Donahue. Her appearance was part of an upcoming episode of “America’s Heartland,” which aired on PBS. The program was designed to promote agriculture. Scanlan was also interested in agriculture, and had recently penned an editorial called "All Americans Have a Stake in the Success of Our Farmers and Ranchers,” which was published across the country. While at the farm, she was also able to meet with a group of students from Davenport and 36 visitors from Ukraine, whose visit was sponsored by John Deere.
