A horizontal black-and-white photograph depicts a billboard for Grain Belt Beer in a mostly empty field. The billboard features an illustration of a man playing the accordian and a setter dog next to a logo for Grain Belt Beer; a banner below them reads "a case of friendship". A line of tall, bare trees stands behind and beside the billboard, and a farm is visible in the distance.
