I didn't get a place on the Fourth Plinth.
But an East Midlands farmer and NFU Council member John Charles-Jones has - and he's set to take his place on October 13 between 8am and 9am.
He was one of 34,247 people to apply for the initiative which is the brainchild of sculptor Antony Gormley.
Members of the public spend an hour on the plinth, 24 hours a day, over the course of 100 days and John will become number 2370 to step up.
His plan is to spend his 60 minutes reminding people about why farming matters.
