God Made A Farmer

My cousin Scot, the farmer, pointed out that there was at least one pretty good commercial during the Superbowl last night.  It describes the farmers I know pretty well.


I grew up listening to Paul Harvey on the radio.  Whenever his segment came on, you stopped what you were doing to listen.  His writing was pithy and poignant, and his voice and his manner of speech were like listening to a sunset.  I don't know of any other radio personality who ever commanded that sort of undivided attention.  Not from me at least.
It's too bad the ad was for a Dodge.

    1. That's why I know it's unfortunate. :)

    2. Hopefully it lessens the sense of misfortune to know that "This video is not necessarily a campaign for the Dodge RAM products, but rather a campaign to support the FFA Foundation...and their hunger initiative Feeding the World – Starting at Home." Simply clicking on it apparently goads Dodge to do the right thing by dropping a tiny $1 Million in FFA's bucket. :) (The unfortunate thing is that it apparently prompted Ford to weakly protest that they've been supporting FFA longer. Fight nice, boys!)
