Why Did God Create Farmers?


The annual super bowl is known for great commercials.  This year 1 commercial stood above all others.  The commercial was for Dodge Ram Trucks and I am not even a Dodge fan, but this commercial was a simple, thoughtful tribute to all farmers.  The commercial was dictated by Paul Harvey, who I loved listening to.  He lists many reasons why God made farmers.  God needed someone who had lots of different traits and therefore the farmer was created:

·         Someone who was a caretaker.

·         Someone who would wake up early, work all day, then serve on the school board late at night.

·         Someone who could see their plan fumble, be strong and try again the next year.

·         Someone who could improvise in many different situations.

·         Someone who was ok working a 40 hour week by Tuesday, and continued on anyway.

·         Someone who was strong yet gentle.

·         Someone who wasn’t going to cut corners.

·         Someone who was going to build a strong family and be proud to pass the farm onto younger generations.
 
 


I say kudos Dodge Ram!

  1. I loved this for its simplicity as well as the message. Very tastefully done by understating the truck itself, which makes you love Dodge. Nice to have our message heard by millions. I miss Paul
