Billboards from the air
Article Abstract:
Manitoba farmer Milton Shirtliff is planning to sell field-size, full-color advertisements made through field cultivation and crop design techniques. Shirtliff has transformed his field as a giant advertising media by skillfully placing in his field 200-ft-long letters that spelled out his corporate name. He said he received positive feedbacks from farmers and multinational companies he approached for the idea to the point that he wanted to make it a business. Shirtliff is aiming to win clients who may not necessarily come from the agricultural sector, but also other industries such as the sandwich maker Subway.
