I had no idea this was a thing, but collard lovers should rejoice! Of course the idea was dreamed up to promote collards. I haven't been able to find the actual image, but it sounds like a fun promotional project. The gentleman in question said that he had a lot of visitors drive out from big cities, just to buy collards (and no doubt ogle the winner).

 

Listen to the NPR article here -- it's about 2 minutes' worth. Click

@DesertTinker: thank you! I don't think the 2024 winner has been announced yet, but based on the radio article I linked he's gotten even more imaginative. I'm looking forward to hearing and seeing the results. 🙂
