The phrase “tower farm” took on a new meaning in southeast Michigan — as a tractor clipped a guy wire and brought down one of 560 WRDT(AM)’s four towers. The station broadcasts in the daytime hours with a directional 500 watts from a field in Monroe Charter Township, Mich., just southwest of the city of Monroe.
