We are Ford truck people on this farm, but that may change after the Super Bowl!
I love, love, love this commercial that celebrates the American Farmer. If you didn’t watch it, please take a moment and check it out here.
This reminds me so much of my dad, granddad, and father-in-law. All men who worked the land and loved doing it.
The hands tell the story.
And now, of course, my husband and sons continue the tradition.
Long hard days.
Worries about the weather.
Very high input costs.
Worries about the weather.
So many things totally out of our control.
STRESS.
The smell of dirt.
Being one’s own boss.
Plants poking up through soil.
The smell of rain.
Satisfaction of doing something REALLY important.
Good Tired.
Farming is in their blood.
God put it there.
Susan, I have always been for the farmer. I love seeing the crops being put out and reap at harvest. I love to smell the dirt being turned over.xoxo,Susie
That was one of my favorite commercials as well…and I'm not even a farmer (however my grandfather was!) 🙂
Just beautiful! Thank you to your family for growing food and harvesting the land! I haven't checked out the commercial but I will now…Lovely shot of the corn! So simple yet so striking!
I loved that commercial too! God bless farmers and their wives and families.
And paperwork out the wazoo, right?!
🙂
It sure was (is) a powerful commercial and hit home with so many.
This was one of my favorite commercials from the night. I have always admired farmers and their hard working ethic. Heather
My hubby's father and uncles were all farmers, so that commercial hit home with us. Thank God for farmers.
That was such a powerful commercial. It made me cry and smile at the same time. I was so grateful that the farmer was portrayed in such a positive way. I am in awe of men and women who work so hard to provide such good things for our country. I am thankful for the food that my family is able to eat because of the hard work of families like yours. Thank you so much. You all are truly appreciated and loved.
That was an awesome commercial! Farming is just plain hard work, but so very worth it!
The hubby and I both had tears running down our cheeks after that one. It was so good to hear Paul Harveys voice again! Good day!
I loved this commercial too! My husband and I recorded it on our DVR so we could watch it over again. Thanks so much for your sweet comment on my blog.
I just saw this last night! It is heart touching!
I love your photos! And I love the good, hard working farmers all over the world 🙂
Hi Susan, So nice to meet you and visit your lovely blog. I have so enjoyed this post. While my family is not in farming, I can so relate to being a FORD family. My dad worked there for 35 years, retired and died a Ford man. Hard work, and the good tired, I can so relate too.
Thank you for stopping by and your kind comment and new following.
Wishing you a wonderful day.
Blessings, Celestina Marie
What a wonderful post… my dad was a farmer until WWII turned him into a mechanic, but that was only on the outside and his day job, he remained a good farmer all his life.
