Strange Giant Farmer

Strange as ever, but now it's a BP station instead of an Amoco, and the farmer is holding a sausage instead of a beer.

Strange Giant Farmer -- NOT a Muffler Man

This guy is listed with the unidentified muffler men, though is most certainly not a real muffler man. Strange and funny looking, yes, but no muffler man. He's worth the stop if you are near the I90/I39 interchange, however. Just check out those eyes. . .creepy.

Farmer Statue

He's dressed as a farmer has a hat and straw hair, blue bib overalls and a yellow shirt.
