Answers? and an NW Indiana quiz

Well guess what....back home in Indiana....the signs tell us so.....34 years ago we lived and worked in this area.   Lots of fun times for 4 1/2 years.  The rains have done major crop damage from Kankakee to Rochester, about 150 miles in length.  No knee high by the Fourth around here, in fact in the areas that have drowned out, I saw planters at work replanting soybeans---hoping for a late frost and trying to make something of a crop....it is very flat here, with limited drainage.  The new "lakes" dot the landscape, and this area does have irrigation, and obviously not this year!
  I had forgotten how "backward" Indiana was....see picture of the stateline I crossed....you can't make this stuff up.
   Now for the new quiz:
   The following towns are famous for something.  Can you find out what it is?  You may use Google.
    1). Rensselaer    2).  Crown Point.  3).  Valparaiso   4)  Roselawn 5). Gary

   Now for the answers to the Corny Quiz:
     The name of the implements from left to right are: 1) Plow.  2) Harrow or cultivator  3) 2 row planter  4) Disk
      The name(s) of the seed companies:  Pioneer; Garst; Stine; Holden; LG Seeds; Wyfels; DeKalb; Syngenta; Monsanto; Agrigold; AgView FS; InVision; Croplan; Good Harvest, Hisoy; Pro-Ag; Channel; Wyckoff; Beck's; Eliteyield; Channel; Asgrow; FS.   How many did you get??
       Now, do you know the ones that are/were based in Iowa?
