I love those.

Here in Illinois many fields are marked by the generic strain of the
crop planted there. To someone in the field that's a lot of
information. To me, I have trouble telling sorghum from corn and wheat
from oats until I am standing next to a plant. One of these signs could
identify the type of bean and I wouldn't know it from a soybean without
opening the pod.

So far I've never seen a sign that says "Llamas". I have seen one that
says "Alpacas". Okay, so with a sign I can tell those two types apart
without standing within biting range. ;^)
