By 1995, Otter Tail Power held radio stations, a telephone utility, manufacturing operations, electrical and telephone construction contractors, and a medical imaging equipment supplier. The low-profile Otter Tail Power gained some media attention in 1995 when Mid-States Development, Inc. purchased an 85 percent interest in a Northern League baseball franchise, the Fargo-Moorhead Red Hawks, for about $1.2 million. Mid-States initially offered to buy a minority interest in the team to assure radio broadcast rights of the games, but other investors pulled out of the deal.
