Chuck Biscuits - Cobb Times Herald
In this upcoming series the Times Herald will be taking a trip out to the farm, to look for the prize goats and blue ribbon hogs that are growing in every franchises minor leagues. The 4H Fair/Danish Ribbon system will be the criteria used to judge a prospect, blue ribbon for the absolute best, red for very good, yellow for good, and white for acceptable quality. Due to time constraints some reports may only contain blue and red ribbon prospects. The first farm systems to be examined are those of the NL North, home to some down home Midwest cooking and East coast class. But it must be said that not all of these farms are Bob Evans quality, some are more akin to Po' Folks.
