Scott Thompson, a farmer of Bristol, Wisconsin decided to plant nearly two million sunflowers in his field to make people feel blissful during this miserable situation. This farm had been in the family for over seventy years. The Thompson family generally planted strawberries, raspberries and pumpkins in their fields. But it was his wife who suggested him to plant sunflowers this year. He had occupied around fifteen fields to plant the glorious sunflowers for over 22 hectares of land.

A Facebook user, Amy Lieb Knobel shared her pictures from the sunflower field on her social media handle. This yellow blooming field has attracted many people. And several people still continue to visit this enormous field. The field will be open to the visitors.

Thompson’s aim was mainly to make people jovial for a day. In an interview, he said that he just did whatever he thought of and kept building. He told that during the entire time the global pandemic never went anywhere. But he believed that people must be looking for something to do, basically social distancing and smile. Thus, he and his wife planned to plant sunflowers. He also stated that they are extremely glad for being in such a business where everyone is always pleased to come.
