As if the murals, tattoos and a thousand other ways of paying tribute to the Argentina of Lionel Messi, world champion in Qatar 2022, are not enough, now you can see colossal images of the great albiceleste captain made with seeds sown in cultivated fields.
The design occupies the space of almost four soccer fields in the town of Ballesteros, in the province of Córdoba (center) and “the idea was a tribute from the agricultural world to Messi, whether or not he won the World Cup, which thank God he did “, says the director, Charly Faricelli, to AFP.
As the corn sprouts, the 460×320 meter image becomes a little more visible every day, says Faricelli, an agronomist.
“It’s an agricultural ‘tattoo’. Planting started before the start of the World Cup, so it was really a leap of faith,” he says with a smile.
The rostrum was formed with different concentrations of seeds, which produce a visual contrast, with the help of a digital culture platform.
“With advances in technology, the agricultural machine knows exactly how many seeds to sow where it goes,” says the engineer.
Thus, the author invited other producers on social networks to imitate his tribute and shared the software with them.
Faricelli says that there are 25 Messi faces in cornfields in five provinces.”
“We identify with the team, because they suffered before they won, and the agricultural world is also suffering,” he comments, alluding to the drought that plagues the fertile Pampas plain in the center of the country.
