A farmer from New Castle, Indiana, who was unable to attend an event in support of Donald Trump in Indianapolis on Wednesday, endorsed the Republican candidate the best way he knew how.
Kade Kroger of L&K farms cut Trump’s name into his field.
“I was out finishing fields to prepare them for planting corn, and I thought it might be a fun way to show my support for Mr. Trump in the upcoming primary election,” he told WISH-TV.
Kroger told the news station it took him about 20 minutes to carve the letters into the field using his tractor.
During the race to the White House, other farmers around the United States have taken measures to show their support or displeasure with a candidate.
In Ohio, Jerry Slankard, who farms south of Canton, took manure from his 15 cows and bulls, loaded it into his spreader and spelled out “no Trump” in letters large enough to be seen from above.
He told WEWS NewsChannel5 he was voicing his opinion knowing full well that there’s people who disagree with him.
Mike Pattavina from Clarinda, Iowa, carved 60 feet tall letters to spell “Bernie” on his field to support Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders after campaign signs were stolen.
