alt1 is rejected for being unintersting (a lot of people on the list, and someone who doesn't know about it would not care). original hook is . ltbdl☃ (talk) 06:05, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ltbdl, Could you explain how the original hook is interesting per WP:DYKINT? I would have assumed that a person starting a farm equipment business would have prior experience in the farm equipment industry. (The lack of such a experience would be a interesting hook) Sohom (talk) 03:09, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ok, i'm starting to have my doubts. maybe an alt about how he founded two farm equipment companies? ltbdl☃ (talk) 14:53, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe something like:

ALT 2: ... that Roy Applequist received the No-Till Innovator Award for working on a new kind of seed drill?
