... even if for some she fits the bill. It is probably what people are putting up to help support them if it is done right now to help the undefeated University of Iowa Hawkeyes beat Minnesota this Saturday when DWS has scheduled the Democratic Debate at the same time to probably deliberately clash with that event! College football playoff fever is starting to get big in Iowa to compete with what will be happening with the Iowa caucuses the beginning of the coming year.

...and the "BERNIE" sign was plowed into a slight hill.

The photo was taken below the horizon.
If it was taken from a light plane at slow speed, then that guy is in trouble unless he is landing in that field.

Well it's underground in a pit dug by aliens so that's why we can't see it in satellite pictures.

If so, it might not be a supporter.

On the bright side, those plants under it should grow better.

(Which, of course, can contain manure).

I think this field is just plowed down for winter and the lettering is plowed down to the dirt.

that said "farm fresh manure". I found it an odd selling point.

What you are looking at is a field (corn or soybeans most likely) after harvest. Farmers cut their dried plants down and it creates that light color. It looks like the farmer went down into the dirt to get the darker effect for the "Bernie" letters.

No bullshit. Just Bernie.

Usually the crop circles are some hard to figure out geometric design. This one I can understand without a problem.

Does anyone here have a pilots license by chance? I want to take a pic of this in the air.

I wonder how many commercial flights have flown over this artistic masterpiece?

Massive free exposure for air travelers.
