in Argentina Over 20 Farmers decided to give their football
idol a legend,
his own portrait in a field of corn, their idol was footballer Lionel Messi, apparently Messi recently led the Argentinian
national team to win the 2022 World Cup, the farmers used a farming engineer’s planting algorithm to
create giant portraits of Messi in their corn fields, “I had the idea to make a
code that goes in the seeders with Messi’s face as a tribute,” farming engineer
Carlos Faricelli told Reuters, adding that he then freely made it available to
any farmer brave enough to use it. In the end, more than 20 farmers in
different provinces of Argentina joined him,
“We all risked it, because we ‘tattooed’ Messi’s portrait in the middle of the drought,” Faricelli told TN Argentina, with the special algorithm, the machinery knows how much seed per square meter it has to plant in certain places to create the contrast for various parts of Messi’s face,
“So when this corn grows and an aerial shot is taken, where the plants are closer together and the ground is less visible, a more intense green contrasts with where there are fewer plants and then this kind of agriculture art is created,” Faricelli said, planted before last year’s World Cup, the “agricultural tattoos” of Messi recently started taking shape, and photos and videos of different fields from all over Argentina have been making their way online, as it happens we have featured ‘crop art’ many times before, specifically at Inakadate, in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, the post are here, and here is the question, given the same circumstances, who would you celebrate this way?
