   Comment by Huh? Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 9:35 am

   Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 9:39 am

9. They spelled “Diana” wrong…

   Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 9:39 am

10. Effective for the super rich flying in private planes on their way to their second homes.

    Comment by City Guy Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 9:40 am

11. Why didn’t he mention the county so I can fly over in my twin prop later?

    Comment by beach panda Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 9:42 am

12. So that’s what Trumps $12 billion in federal emergency aid to farmers looks like.

    Comment by Leigh John-Ella Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 9:43 am

13. Cash crop

    Comment by Henry Francis Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 9:43 am

14. Reminds me of the last episode of M*A*S*H.

    There was a different message in the rocks, but I digress…

    Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 9:44 am

15. So, the alien sees this, lands and says,
    “Take us to your REAL leader.”

    Comment by VanillaMan Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 9:44 am

16. We now know who is going to carry Tuesday’s corn vote.

    Comment by VanillaMan Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 9:46 am

17. Cool, but hard to see from a Harley.

    Comment by Dance Band on the Titanic Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 9:46 am

18. Better penmanship than most people. Seriously, it can’t be easy to get it that even.

    Comment by lakeside Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 9:48 am

19. Voters in a vegitative state of mind, vote Rauner.

    Comment by VanillaMan Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 9:48 am

20. Clever…fact is the photo is getting spread on social media. Apparently the farmers think Rauner is the only candidate who they can trust.

    Comment by Palatine Pop Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 9:48 am

21. Wealthy country boys can survive?

    Comment by Thought Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 9:49 am

22. The campaign continues to refine its messaging strategy to connect with the average voter.

    Comment by Anonish Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 9:49 am

23. An inescapable maze. Appropriate for Rauner’s first term.

    Comment by Anonimity Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 9:50 am

24. Campaign advertising for an arbitrary candidate named “Bruce”, visible only by planes going over fly over country.

    Like Bruce Bistline running for Idaho AG.

    Comment by Huh? Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 9:51 am

25. =Apparently the farmers think Rauner is the only candidate who they can trust.=

    You mean they guy who tried to cut funding for Ag Education among other Ag related cuts? That’s they guy they trust? Do they believe the story about his grandparents too?

    Sometimes you get what you deserve I guess.

    Comment by JS Mill Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 9:57 am

26. With crops harvested, Illinois farmers have begun spreading manure in preparation for next year.

    Comment by Anonymouse Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 9:57 am

27. Ex-Files

    – MrJM

    Comment by @misterjayem Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 9:57 am

28. looks photo shopped to us

    Comment by Annonin' Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 10:02 am

29. Looks photoshopped to me. If it is real, people arriving by plane can wonder who Bruce is.

    Comment by Big Joe Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 10:07 am

30. Migrating geese flying over it respond with a message of their own.

    Comment by Streator Curmudgeon Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 10:07 am

31. Rauner Hybrids: Even lower yields than expected.

    Comment by Kayak Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 10:10 am

32. Most farmers are die-hard Republicans. Will get some “atta-boys” at the grain elevator, but it’s preaching to the choir.

    Comment by Streator Curmudgeon Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 10:10 am

33. As jets bound for O’Hare fly over this, flight attendants notice a large demand for airsickness bags.

    Comment by Streator Curmudgeon Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 10:13 am

34. –Apparently the farmers think Rauner is the only candidate who they can trust.–

    Sure, this one farmer proves “the farmers” are monolithic and walk in lock-step.

    Rauner has proven he can be trusted to shut “the farmers” out of an alleged trade mission to two of their biggest customers, China and Japan.

    Comment by wordslinger Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 10:18 am

35. One yard sign per six houses, that’s about the same as my block in Chicago.

    Comment by Anon Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 10:21 am

36. Oops…poor planning…they ran out of space.

    Left off the word “out.”

    Comment by TinyDancer(FKASue) Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 10:22 am

37. The technology involved in these kinds of precision mows is pretty cool.

38. Shouldn’t see the row lines beneath the letters. But nice try Paul lol

    Comment by Anonymous Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 10:25 am

39. There’s a reason they call it “Flyover Country”

    Comment by West Sider Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 10:28 am

40. Photoshop baloney.

    Comment by DeseDemDose Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 10:37 am

41. It’s like yard signs. The neighbor in the top left has what looks like, “Vote the wait.”

    Comment by Tallgonzo Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 10:42 am

42. Crop circles for Bruce.

    Comment by Anonymous Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 10:42 am

43. Good luck stealing this yard sign.

    Comment by 47th Ward Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 10:43 am

44. Not to be outdone, a team of roofers is currently working to make a subdivision’s roofs spell out
    ‘Hey JB’

    Comment by OneMan Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 10:45 am

45. In response the Pritzer campaign on-line team has paid for ads in front of every Green Acers video, every Orion Samuelson video on YouTube as well as ads on the Songs to Drive a John Deer to playlist on Spotify

    Comment by OneMan Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 10:48 am

46. This is sad.

    I don’t know if this particular farmer has off-farm employment. However, I know many farmers in downstate Illinois whose spouse works at a public university, community college, or K-12 public school because that is where the good health care benefits and retirement benefits come from. And yet, these same farmers gleefully cheer as Rauner guts universities, K-12 Schools, and teacher unions. The inability of many “free-market” conservatives to see how they benefit from a well-funded system of schools and universities, including as the source of their health care benefits, is painful to contemplate.

    Comment by Scamp640 Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 10:55 am

47. It also says “BUILD THE WALL” in the upper left. This farmer/alien has a number of great messages for no one to see.

    Comment by Lefty Lefty Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 11:01 am

48. Apparently Farmer Bruce didn’t think to do this on his own recently purchased Sangamon County farm.

    Comment by don the legend Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 11:03 am

49. Interesting that his description on Twitter is Governor candidate. Did he forget that he is already Governor?

    Comment by HUH Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 11:13 am

50. The obvious: you reap what you sow.

    Comment by Earnest Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 11:13 am

51. I expected more stalking here…

    Comment by A guy Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 11:25 am

52. NO

    Comment by Grandson of Man Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 11:26 am

53. Yes! Springsteen would make an awesome Governor!

    Comment by DDW Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 11:28 am

54. What Rauner doesn’t know is that the farmer is starting a write-in campaign for “The Boss”.

    Comment by Jocko Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 11:32 am

55. Using barren land within a harvested crop to make Bruce’s name… there is some poetry to that, isn’t there?

    Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 11:41 am

56. I’ve driven across the state, and actually you don’t see a lot of Rauner signs. Very few. But how nice that people flying from NY to LA might see this one. Will really move the needle.

    Comment by Chris P. Bacon Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 11:46 am

57. Rauner’s scorched earth strategy wants you to remember who to vote for….

    Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 11:48 am

58. I wish my doppelganger at 11:13 would quit posting with my handle.

    Comment by Huh? Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 11:56 am

59. “Field of Dreams”

    Comment by XDNR Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 12:08 pm

60. Subsidized Trail of Tears!

    Comment by Anonymous Friday, Nov 2, 18 @ 12:46 pm

61. In a college election, when my opponent had 2 dorm floor windows saying vote on one floor and his name on the floor below, I got the students on the floor above those to put the word ‘don’t’ in their window. Maybe the farmer next door should try that. (I won that election)
