  2. I like to see stamps with the farm theme, rather than just animals. However, the cow cover makes me jealous...
    Oh, and the vintage chicken is really original!

  3. What a great election of farming in America. I like the theme of Future Farmers with the vista from the hill and the cute boy in the wheat field.
