"With a more conscious intent, artist Stan Herd has been just as inventive in his creation of 'crop art', giant earthworks plowed, planted or mowed out of tracts of land that often encompass 160 acres -- the original size of a prairie homestead."

"Paralleling the efforts of whimsical farmers, the mysterious crop-circle artists of Britain, and the unknown ancestors who left such massive images in the land as the white horse of Salisbury and the surpentine mounds of Ohio, Herd has provided the prairies with an entirely new artistic prospect."
Joni L. Kinsey, from Plain Pictures, 1996
