Barnyard humor or art?
Hooper farmer Rhett Davis upended junk cars to improve the view of his farm for his city slicker neighbors.
This is just a fun way for me to say, 'Hey boys, I'm still here.' This is my redneck Stonehenge.Ha. Ha. Yeah, I'll bet his neighbors are laughing. The new arrivals made the mistake of complaining to Davis about the dust and flies his operation generates. Davis told the Ogden Standard-Examiner:
I respect that they're here and spent a lot on their homes, but on the other hand, give me a little bit, too. I've been here since I was 7 years old.Apparently, the junked-car Parthenon worked. Davis says he has found his neighbors surprisngly open to compromise:
These can come out just as easy as they went in.*The incident doesn't support a new state Department of Agriculture survey. The Tribune reports that despite their increasingly urban ways, Utahns "know farming and ranching are important to the state's future and worry about subdivisions gobbling up croplands."
*Leave 'em in. He doesn't know it, but Davis has created an art work on par with Stanley Marsh's Cadillac Ranch in Texas.

What an idiot this guy is. A redneck is right but I would use stronger words......DUMBF**K comes to mind. Bet he has sex with his cows too.
the preceding comment is meant to remind all of us, how essential audience response is to a good online newspaper. It just adds depth and understanding a columnist cannot bring.
Agriculture accounts for less than 1 percent of Utah's total economy, and it's only THAT high because state budgeteers combined ag with mining. Growing alfalfa and cows in the Utah desert is welfare farming, and despite people's nostalgia for the nation's agricultural past (which ended around 1945), most of our food comes from giant corporate monstrosities cranking out cheap, nutritionless crap full of additives, antibiotics and synthetic hormones and destroying the land and waterways with their toxic runoff.
in five years these people will go to there commissoner and complain about the smell and the farmer will be pushed off his land
