Big Statues Makes Front Cover of Virginia Farm Bureau News"Finally, I thought,... a statue in Richmond without controversy. No battle flags. No weapons. No color of skin. No connections with any causes except honesty, hard work and a God-fearing respect for the land." ~ Virginian-Pilot writer Linda McNatt A statue honoring those who've contributed almost $79 billion annually to Virginia's economy was unveiled last September at Virginia Farm Bureau's headquarters in Goochland County. The bronze farmer stands in a field of early corn, gazing off into the distance as if contemplating the future of his crop. "Without a doubt, now anyone walking through the door will know that we are an agricultural organization," said President Wayne F. Pryor. The idea to honor farmers stemmed from a Rockbridge County Farm Bureau resolution recommending some sort of tribute. The statue was sculpted by Matt Glenn, president of Big Statues Inc. in Provo, Utah. It is mounted on a base of Pennsylvania sandstone from Richmond-based Luck Stone Inc. |
 Nice work by Matt Glenn, good attention to detail. Virginia should be pleased! |
