Orion Samuelson is media personality No. 1 for American farmers, a position he has had since the early 60'ies. He came to Telemark on June 24 with a group of 40 farmers from 14 states in the U.S. "Telemark Heritage" helped the delegation to find the farms they were recommended to visit, and made agreements with the farmers.

Our first challenge to help Orion Samuelson and the delegation of farmers was that the road to the Kise farm was closed. For 25 years they had been waiting for a hard surface road here, and on the day our American guests came, the asphalt people started the work. How could the problem be solved ? How could we get the large bus through to Kise ?
