If the ONLY thing to be sold at the farmers market is corn
or tomatoes, using a tomato or corn graphic is okay.
However, if a variety of crops and products are to be sold,
the graphic should be a "horn-of-plenty" to signal variety,
bounty of the land and lots of other intuitive feelings people
connect with a horn-of-plenty.
