28. Making crop circles is a growing business in England,

and it benefits landowners too. This article focuses on the circle-making team of John Lundberg, Rod Dickinson and Wil Russell.

snips:

The list of clients and commissions is impressive. Last year the team went to
America to do a series of projects for AMD, a multibillion-pound computer-chip
company. They created the eye logo for Big Brother, the "reality television"
programme; a car-shaped pattern for a Mitsubishi publicity campaign; logos for
the album covers of dance bands; advertisements for Orange, the mobile phone
company; and an image of Dawn French, Steve Coogan and David Jason for a digital
television company.

They have branched out from wheat fields and now also work on sand and grass.
They recently won a commission for Hello Kitty to produce the face of the
Japanese company's cartoon cat in a wheat field in Wiltshire, and are
considering a project in Costa Rica.
...
Landowners are benefiting too, receiving payments - from the companies or
circle-makers - for allowing their fields to be used for the work. The income
easily covers the damage to crops, leaving farmers with a profit.
