Gene Hansen of Edgeley, North Dakota, is not only a retired farmer and landowner, he’s an artist with a plow. The 75-year-old recently paid tribute to the late Prince by plowing a football-field-size love symbol, which was his name for a while, into a field.
"I thought to myself, maybe I should try something like that," Hanson said Monday, May 2. "I didn't tell anyone I was going do it, I didn't even tell my wife I was going to do it. But it's been fun."
He used a drawing of Prince's "love symbol" that he pulled from the internet as his guide, he said.
"I don't have a cab on my tractor. I just have a three-point disk in the back," he said. "I taped that little sign on the hood of the tractor and just went by that."
When he was finished, he flew his airplane over the field to take a picture. It’s a good thing- the symbol will be gone soon, when the field is completely plowed for a new crop. -via Uproxx
