Bill Geist on Cow Chips ("Holy Cow ") (CBS)

From CBS News:

CBS Sunday Morning
August 14, 2008

"When Bill Geist entered the Cow Chip throwing competition at the Iowa State Fair a few years ago, he noticed that Iowa’s cow chips came from Beaver, Okla., and wondered: why would a farm state like Iowa import their cow chips? Well, Beaver is the Cow Chip Capital of the World, claiming a superior chip is created by the grass their cows eat, the water their cows drink, and wind that comes sweeping down the Oklahoma plains to dry their chips. Cow Chips, it seems, also played an important part in Beaver’s history. Bill Geist travels to the Cow Chip Capital where the chips fell at the 37th annual World Cow Chip throwing Contest."
