  Tom Roberts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas William Roberts (8 March 1856 - 14 September 1931), usually known simply as Tom, was a famous Australian artist and a key member of the Heidelberg School.
Roberts painted a considerable number of fine oil landscapes and portraits, some painted at artist camps with his friend McCubbin, but perhaps his most famous works were two large works, Shearing the Rams and The Big Picture.
Many of Roberts' paintings were landscapes or ideas done on small canvases that he did very quickly, such as his exhibits to the famous 9 x 5 exhibition in Melbourne, 9 x 5 referring to the size in inches of the cigar box lids which most of the paintings were done on.

 American National Business Hall of Fame, ANBHF Tom Roberts Sr.
Roberts’ unquestioning faith in the value of hybrid corn to corn-belt farmers, his determination to let nothing stand in the way of bringing the new corn to just as many farmers just as soon as possible was, from the first season in 1934 without a close parallel anywhere in the history of hybrid corn.
Roberts’ understanding of the farmers’ basic needs led him to “position” hybrid corn as the new “mortgage lifter.” This was, of course, symbolized by the wings attached to the ear of a corn.
Tom Roberts idea from the first was that the dealer should be a farmer, who made direct calls on his neighbors rather than a seed store or elevator operator who waited for customers to call on him.
