Unless thats a ten ft rod, whats shown is a violation.
If it’s an 8’ rod there isn’t 8’ in contact with the soil.

250.12 alows the rod to be exposed like shown, but needs to be protected.
This was very common method until early 80s when DB clamp was available.
I see your picture as a trip hazard.

This reminds me of the county I grew up in. We had a local requirement that the ground clamp had to be above ground and visible/accessible. The supply houses did not even carry 8' rods because of it.
