Farma-Save Signs Need a Home

Tuesday, 20 April 2010
Farma-Save Signs Grab Attention Our Farma-Save signs are looking for new homes again! Designed after the Burma Shave signs of the 1960s, they are a creative and catchy way to get people thinking about one or more aspects of land use. We currently have six sets on hand for placement around the state. They are available for use to any member of 1000 Friends of Iowa. A high visibility location is ideal to maximize exposure. The signs must be placed on private property and require 90’ between each to ensure readability from the roadway. The signs require a pick-up truck for transporting and able bodies for proper placement. The six sets of 4’ X 8’ plywood signs should reflect a relevant land-use issue in your community. A call to our office, 515-288-5364 or e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it will reserve a set for your use. Our hand-painted signs want to put down stakes in your community! Click on "read more" to see the original sketches used to fashion each sign.
