Kansas man proving he's an artist not a rural eccentric
Associated Press reports crop artist Stan Herd, who uses a plow as a brush, turns fields into portraits and ads viewed from the air. Since 1981 he has created 160-acre Satanta and Will Rogers murals, a one-acre Amelia Earhart image, a 30-acre still life in Kansas and even projects in New York, London, and Australia. This year he designed the Turtle Island Corn Maze near Lawrence on five acres, cutting a 400-by-600 foot turtle shape with 10-foot corn and three-foot paths, drawing visitors who paid up to seven dollars each. Herd, based near Protection, Kan, led a month-long crew to map and carve the maze with helpers and machetes.
