Ohio farmer uses cow manure to make his opinion of Donald Trump known

last updated 2 March 2016

It took four hours and 15 cows and bulls, but an Ohio farmer was able to send a clear — and gross — message to Donald Trump.

Jerry Slanker says he loaded up manure in a spreader and hauled it out to a section of his farm in Strasburg. There, he wrote out "No Trump" with the manure, covering an area larger than a football field, ABC 5 reports — the anti-Trump message is so big it's visible from planes flying overhead, and can probably be smelled a mile away. Slanker was glad to use the BS to call out a candidate that many think is full of it, telling ABC 5: "I know there's a lot of people maybe not agreeing with me, but that's their American right. I just voice my opinion, and not yours."
