This monument incorporates historic and contemporary images with emphasis on family farming and local crops. Traditional farming is depicted with the sower spreading wheat seeds from a wicker basket. Next to the sower several corn plants indicate the importance of this crop to the area.
In the adjacent section two farm workers bail and load hay under a harvest sun. the next image is a contemporary farmer operating a combine. Farther on, a youth in a 4-H t-shirt holds a family pet, a barn cat. Between the girl and the sower are wheat plants, a farm house and a silo.
