Love stinks! Minnesota farmer creates manure valentine; Photo
ALBERT LEA, Minn. (AP) - Nothing says "I love you" like a half-mile wide heart made out of manure.
A southern Minnesota man created the Valentine's Day gift for his wife of 37 years in their farm field about 12 miles southwest of Albert Lea.
Bruce Andersland told the Alberta Lea Tribune that he started the project with his tractor and manure spreader Wednesday and finished Thursday.
His wife, Beth, says it's the biggest and most original Valentine she has ever received. She says some people might think it's gross but she says it's cute and "Why not do something fun with what you got?"
She says the heart would be darker except for recent heavy snowfall mixed with the cowplop, so the spreader ended up spreading manure and snow.
