States with the largest share of their land designated farmland.

5. seed company signs have been a feature of the landscape around my home area

for as long as I can remember which is pretty darn far. They are nothing new. I will always remember "Funk's G Hybrid" which was the most common. Just a little white shield on a metal stake along the fence line.

They are probably still doing that but I am not there often enough to know if they still say "Funk's G Hybrid"

The signs helped ID the planting for the farmer, the County Agent and the company, especially if a farmer is testing a new strain. I remember them used on corn more than any other crop.
