In Missouri you have to have a state license tag on both front and back of your vehicle. It’s a pain since I’d like to show my support with a logo tag for my favorite thing. If you live in a state that doesn’t have this requirement then you can show your support for cotton with a Cotton Logo License …

Aerial Applicators Hear About Fungicide Spraying From BASF
