I live in Iowa and the As farm team was in Des Moines back in the day. Most of the players on their great teams passed through DM on their way up. Not sure how many were in DM together but I do remember the DM team having one incredible year I think in the late 60s/ early 70s.

I remember in particular that Joe Rudi was a huge star in DM. Jackson may have gone straight from college to the majors.
