Plowing message into farmer's field (visible from the sky)?

[Isaiah]

Does anyone have any information at all on how I would find a farmer willing to plow a message into his field? Planning a helicopter tour and thought that would be a neat way to propose.

If any of you have family who are ranchers/farmers or even have a large enough acreage in need of a mow, I would be happy to discuss a price.

EDIT: See new thread here.

Genius!

Hope that works out for you!

You'll likely have to wait longer until it is closer to harvest time. Otherwise it will not look like much.
Price wise expect to pay for the crop that it consumes + an inflated price to cover the labor time of doing it and an extra charge on top of that.

I know someone with a big enough farm however it's in Manitoba not Alberta.
To be honest, IMO I would be surprised if you found a farmer willing to do this.

Great proposal idea!! I think Mista Bob has a point if what you're talking about is farm land though.

Why not consider looking for an acreage or 1/4 section used for cattle grazing or something and lay out a removable material - black or coloured poly or cloth or something? I'm not sure how wide you'd need to make it to be visible from the sky but I'm sure you can figure it out using a little math and / or Google Maps.

Worst idea ever.(so gey)
Take her for a walk along the bow river and then toss her in.
When she comes out all pissed off and the headlights on ask her to marry you.
Ask me how i know? 25 years and still going.

I heard these guys have some unique ideas...it will cost you.

Just remember not all women want to share their proposals with the public, I preferred mine romantic and private. I have a friend that had her name flashing at a game, boyfriend in tux, roses, limo ring. All eyes on her and she ran. lol. She wanted a small private engagement and he went all out public and it was embarrassing to her.

All the best, the web is full of fantastic ideas. You have a great group of guys here in Beyond that would, I am sure help you put something fantastic together. Everyone seems to know someone that knows someone that can help!

1. Find a shitload of big rocks (like a couple feet around, at least).
2. Paint them white.
3. Lay them out in a field or on a hillside spelling out whatever you want it to say.
4. Pick them up when you're done.

It shouldn't be that hard to find a farmer willing to help, even if yo have to go door to door. And most farmers have big jesus piles of rocks that you could probably use.

It might be a good time if its just range land - plowing a crop isn't going to happen, but plowing up some grassland - not a big deal....

[Isaiah]

What about those large hay bales you see in the fields? Rather than plowing, since it's out of season, would a farmer be willing to organize them to spell out the words? Or would that ruin the crops below?

That's fucking awesome

You could also do a Beyond car meet... everyone lines them up to spell it out, lol.

Oh man so good; we have a winner! I've been a part of this community for 6 years, how sweet it would be to get you guys in on it and post another beyond collaboration thread.

Just worked it out and it will take 99 cars though so it would require some major buy-in from members and commitment to show up on the day. What does everyone think?

EDIT: See new sign-up thread here.

[Kloubek]

I'd be willing to help out. You'd have a tough time getting 99 people completely commited to the cause though.

Congrats, btw.

[projekz]

I'm in if you need anything!

[Isaiah]

@ Kloubek: I agree the commitment part would be key. I would actually require quite a few extra people to commit so we could ensure success despite the no-shows. May be neat to incorporate as part of a cruise. Oh man I am loving this idea so far.

[mo_money2supe]

Awesome proposal idea (w. the cars that is)! I'd be in on it as long as I'm not on vacation. When were you planning on popping the question?

[sputnik]

I am glad that my wife was just happy with me simply asking her without some big drawn out plan.

[bourge73]

Plow a field alright, just not a farmers.....

Ps. I am in for the meet.

Fuck.. Just take her to a romantic restaurant, get on your knees and beg... With a 50% divorce rate, you might be kicking yourself later. Just sayin'....

In all seriousness, this may or may not go well. Remember that really, the ONLY outcome of this is that she goes and tells all her friends how it went down. Chicks love the romantic "awwwwww" shit, not some helicopter tour with the words etched in a field or some words spelled out with a bunch of ricer cars. She probably wants to savour the moment with YOU only, not on some helicopter or in front of a billion spectators. I personally never got why people like to do these kinds of things.

And seriously in 10 years after you have a billion kids and toiling away to support them all, you'll wonder why the fuck you even went through all the trouble anyway. Just speaking from experience. LOL no I am not bitter or trying to rain on your parade. Just trying to be realistic ahahaha...

[jampack]

I would be in for the car idea Hehe.

OP Goodluck and congrats.
