Isn’t it nic
e for a change that farmers are given some real and positive recognition…AND it was during the most watched event in the world.
Now let me go back a bit…I did not see the Dodge commercial titled “So God Made A Farmer” yesterday, during the Superbowl but one of my daughters friends, Claudia Avila, posted on my Facebook wall…
“Hope you saw that farmer commercial for Ram…totally thought of you guys. Xoxo”
I was so bummed that I missed it but Thank God for You Tube (click to view) I watched it, and watched again. It brought tears to my eyes and I swelled with pride. I thought, finally…a shout out to all of the farmers that feed our nation…our world and they are supporting Future Farmers of America to boot! Wow that is so cool!
I was so happy that Claudia, a beautiful, sweet, twenty-something that lives in the city, away from farms saw that commercial and took that moment to share that she thought of us. THANK YOU Claudia that make me very proud.
The commercial’s impact continues. It has been all the buzz this morning on the talk shows and I was so happy to hear “Kelly and Michael” say how much they loved it and made them think about how hard farmers work. It is nice to have this good media attention for a change.
I am happy to say that I do drive a Dodge and this farmer thanks you!
After a tough week with the passing of my grandfather & the funeral on Saturday, my whole family was sitting and watching it yesterday, it brought tears to most eyes considering my grandpa was…a farmer. Loved it!
