No doubt you saw Ohio farmer Jerry Slankard's last work of art, scrawled in big, bold letters off Interstate 77.
The canvas, his field. The brush, his tractor. And his ink -- cow manure.
It read "No Trump."
"I didn't mean anything derogatory toward Trump as far as the ink," Slankard said. "Some people that are for Trump thought for sure it said, 'Go Trump' and I said, 'No, No Trump!'"
That was earlier this spring. Now, the manure is gone and the grass has grown higher, a little greener where "No Trump" was written in his Strasburg farm.
But now that the voters have said "Yes Trump," Slankard is already planning his next manure message, timed to come out with either the Republican National Convention in Cleveland or the general election in November.
His 20 cows look ready to do the dirty work.
"Well, when I look out and I see him doing anything other than going straight up and down, I know he's up to something and I'm afraid to look at what it is," said Judy, Slankard's wife of 40 years, laughing.
And the field isn't just for political messages. Slankard has written happy birthday to his wife, notes to his grandkids, even a marriage proposal -- all in cow manure.
"You know, nature provides, and it's a free country so if you want to write something in manure, you can. But just as Leon Bibb said, be careful where you step," Slankard said.
