Giant Farmer Bob was built in the 1970s and has been at this location ever since. The original owner had Farmer Bob built and displayed to attract customers for the business, which back then was a cheese and sausage shop. He was cleaned, repaired, and given a fresh coat of paint in 2017. This gas station is known for Farmer Bob, carries souvenirs of Farmer Bob, and works hard to keep him clean!

The eyes look different; maybe they were redone to look more friendly? Still kinda creepy if you zoom in on them....
[Tony H., 10/08/2017]The clerk at the Mobil station said that the farmer's name is Pepper Jack. Like the cheese, maybe?

I thought the Farmer was pretty cool and worth the super-easy hop off of I-90. America doesn't make this kind of stuff anymore. The eyes alone are worth a look.

ID tag on the giant farmer says "Creative Displays, Inc Sparta Wisconsin." Now the station is a Mobil!
