Man Plants Personal Ad In Corn
CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. -- A western New York farmer was looking for love. So he wrote a personals ad -- in his cow pasture.
Pieter DeHond, 41, planted his message in leftover corn seed. In 50-foot letters, the message says, "Single White Female, got to love farming." In the shorthand of personals, of course.
Underneath is a 1,000-foot arrow pointing to his Canandaigua home.
The divorced father of two says he wouldn't stoop so low as to use the classifieds. Besides, the message only took an hour to plant.
The 900-by-600-foot love note is easily seen from the air, where airplanes frequently pass over between Rochester and New York City.
Neighbor Bob Mincer has taken DeHond up for a bird's-eye view.
Mincer said DeHond has a great sense of humor and a steady hand at the wheel.
Mincer said, "I've seen some crop spellings before, and this is very precise."
