OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - For one Nebraska farmer, celebrating the Fourth of July means leaving a message for the world to see from above.

Broc Brune has been farming his entire life. Five years ago, he decided to let his soybeans do the talking.

“We started out that first year with the Husker block N. And we didn’t know what to expect. And all of a sudden I flew the drone up and it showed up really well. Every year we kind of tried to push the detail a little farther,” Brune said.

This year’s design This year, Brune’s 70 acres in Dodge, Nebraska, became his most complicated canvas to date — an American flag with an eagle head.

How it works

The design is created entirely through row spacing, with no impact on crop yield.

“Just the difference in the two shades of green is simply just row spacing. 30-inch rows and 15-inch rows. And the 15-inch rows show up as a lighter hue of green. And the 30-inch rows are the darker green,” Brune said.

Way cool...

With gps, and programming the planter’s computer, each row of the planter will turn on or off as commanded.

Even with the same soybean seed variety, 30” rows will tend to have taller plants, and CAN have yields similar to 15” rows, 15” rows tend to yield a little better. If they didn’t farmers wouldn’t be buying any 15” row planters.

I help a local farmer part-time. He has three planters, two which can plant either 15” (for beans) or 30” (for corn), and one that is only for 30” rows, (for corn only).

So I wonder if all those losers pushing Socialism could match this kind of creativity with ways to make this Republic better or would they just regurgitate the standard lies about making everything free?
