Spouse devotes several months to crafting intricate wheat field designs as a surprise for their 20th wedding anniversary.
Farming in Kansas just got a whole lot more romantic, as local farmer Jesse Blasi used his “little crop of land” to craft a sky-high tribute to his beloved wife Sarah on their 20th wedding anniversary.
With roots digging deep into Pratt for over two decades, this passionate farmer has a particular fondness for wheat fields and family, so combining the two to express his undying love was only natural.
"It's the small things that make you happy. The coming up of wheat, the birth of a new calf,” Jesse reminisced. “But there ain't nothing that compares to my wife and family."
While in college, Jesse found love with Sarah at a local watering hole. As they both drove off after an evening of laughter and drinks, they locked eyes at a stoplight. "It was love at first stoplight," he recalled with a fond smile.
Deciding to delight his wife with a heartfelt agricultural artwork, Jesse found inspiration from local farming legend, Lee Wilson, who had once created a stunning field of sunflowers for his own dear wife. Intrigued, Jesse thought, “If he can do sunflowers, I can do wheat!"
Using state-of-the-art agricultural tech, Jesse employed multi-variety prescription planting, sowing two types of wheat to produce a mesmerizing message in the sky. And, boy, did it turn heads.
When Sarah first saw it from an aircraft last week, a video captured her astonishing reaction.
"I knew it would make her smile," Jesse beamed. "That was the whole goal. Get that little grin I like."
Over the moon, Sarah replied sweetly, "That's Jesse Blasi love. That's farmer love right there."
With over 65 million red wheat seeds, the artistic endeavor consumed Jesse for months, and though details of the design itself remain undisclosed, the message was clear: this cotton-picker is taken with joyous intentions for eternity.
"Even though I'm the farmer, she grows the best crop," Jesse said fondly. "We have our two girls, Reagan and Avery, and they're our best crop."
The artwork is expected to remain visible until late summer or early fall, finding its beauty best from 4,000 to 6,000 feet in the air.
"He'd go that extra mile just to make me smile," Sarah chuckled, admitting that the beautiful gesture was nothing new for the red-blooded farmer.
