A United

States farmer is trying to brighten a very gloomy 2020 by planting more than two

million sunflowers.

With the COVID-19 pandemic infecting many and demolishing economies around the world, Scott Thompson, a farmer in Wisconsin, decided to plant more than 22 acres of sunflowers on his property called Thompson Strawberry Farm. The flowers are planted in 15 fields, and some are yet to bloom.

The farm is

also home to lots of zinnias, wildflowers and Mexican sunflowers.

Usually, strawberries

are planted there during the summer while there are raspberries and pumpkins on

the fall.

But with

everything that’s been happening in 2020, Thompson and his wife decided to

switch things up.

“We just did

it … and we just kept building,” Thompson told CNN. “As the season went on, the

pandemic never went anywhere … and we thought people might be looking for

something to do, and what a great way to social distance and … smile,

basically.”

Persons can

now visit the beautiful farm where they can enjoy picnics, wander the fields and

go home with a bunch of sunflowers.
