Paul Harvey - So God Made A Farmer

[@Qui_Gon_Jinn_76]

Thank Almighty God for farmers.

[@reddirtfarm7704]

No farm's no food !! Support and know your local family farm's!!🚜🐖🐄🐑🐓🇺🇸💪

[@crackervalley]

My late husband Kurt Markus contributed three photographs to this commercial I produced the shoot photographed in Eastern Montana in and around the towns of HIghwood and Geraldine. Early cold mornings to ride out with the farmers and ranchers to capture these photographs. Special thanks to the RIchards Group for making this commercial. xx Maria Markus

[@JoshuaRusso]

Truly stunning. I'm not 100% sure which were his, but each of the portraits in this was captivating.

I’m glad you shared that. It makes it much more personal and authentic. Well done

Sorry for your loss.

Thank you. God Bless You.

[@RH-ib7bg]

When I hear Paul Harvey's voice I hear my tractor on the background cause it was the only station I could pick up, I smell diesel fuel, I smell hay, I hear my dad's voice, I taste baloney and cheese sandwiches with lays potato chips, drink water from a water jug, sleep better than anyone from the city could even dream of. I didn't realize how happy I was when I was listening to Paul Harvey every day.

[@ArmChaairGM]

I feel all these. Grew up on a farm in Iowa. Back when you plowed and disced and cultivated and grinded feed. God I miss it.

[@jhart7304]

yip. we been there.

[@jeffbanfieldsflwr3537]

Boy do I agree with that ! Amen.

[@sonofthegun5178]

Exactly. The best way to grow up is on a mixed farm. Cattle, Hay, grain and pasture. I am right now in the fight of my life to get the family farm. Nobody else wants to do anything on it or run it but they all want the money if its sold. What a bunch of scabs.

[@RH-ib7bg]

@@sonofthegun5178 Unfortunately this is all to common. I know she something happens to my Dad and Uncle I'll be going through the same thing you're going through. It's extremely hard work. Only advice I give anyone is don't milk cows. Lol.

[@concretecowboy3]

Those who complain about the "HARD WORK" they endure, need to go work on a farm and see what 'HARD WORK" really is ! ! ! !

@T. Scot wilburn sorry i don't debate liberal lunatics you people have no common sense.

[@Randy58-zn4ez]

So you think your invisible imaginary god can bless farmers do you? You would think your god would help the two million plus children that starve to death every year around the world. Or how about people around the world who eat out of garbage dumps to survive. Or the millions that live in extreme poverty. Or how about the million plus children that are homeless here in the USA. It’s like your god doesn’t exist at all. Religious beliefs are ignorant primitive superstition grow up.

[@arvish.8560]

I am a farmer's daughter and that was so true! RIP Dad!

[@judyortmeier4479]

Tomorrow is my father in laws funeral, at 99+, he was one of these farmers that did everything in this amazing talk by Paul Harvey. He farmed in South Dakota, raised nine children, took them to schools for many years until some were old enough to drive, Church on Sundays nine miles away. Always working to better their lives, worked hard and prayed hard. May you Rest In Peace, the gate is closed it is your turn to relax and enjoy the peace of heaven! Love you forever Dad!

[@jeffbanfieldsflwr3537]

That's awesome. My grandfather farmed Iowa for a long time. I spent many hours many days out there. It's hard work, but it makes you feel good and that you earned it. We had one cow named lucky that we never slaughtered. She was more of a pet, the kindest of souls she was.

[@tracytempleton8618]

This is one of Paul Harvey's best tributes! I loved it when he first delivered it back in the 50s or 60s and it is still a wonderful tribute. Thank You Paul Harvey!

[@usaveteran-retired6464]

I read where this was first delivered - or recorded - in 1978. I could definitely be wrong.

[@danielallison5058]

America could learn so much today..if they turn off the noise, and listen to the common sense wisdom of Mr. Harvey

I heard this during the Super bowl. When my baby brother died due to a farming accident his wife had it played during the funeral. I can't listen to it any more without tears.

[@arvish.8560]

That is very touching. I am sad for your family's tragic loss.

[@kennethblakeney5310]

I certainly do... I pray and have an appreciation for the farmers who produce our food and the truckers who get it to us. I also have an appreciation for the bees' hard work and contribution in this process. My grandfather was a farmer that contributed a lot to the community in his day. My mama grew vegetables throughout my whole childhood having to raise 7 children on her own as a widow... I learned from watching her, my love for growing vegetables and the like. It's very hard... but rewarding work.AD-B🙂

[@ruthluepkes5343]

[@kirkmorrison6131]

This describes my Grandpas perfectly. They were tough when they needed be. Most of the time they were the kindest, gentle men, in the world. Sunday was the Lord's day and we would ride with them instead of our parents. I'm 67, and they've been gone for more than 20 years and I still miss them.

I grew up on a large cattle and grain farm. This is so true. Every single person in America should listen to this and remember this every time they sit down to a meal.

[@laurenf1966]

Farmers are the hardest working people I know. I grew up on a farm and my brothers struggle this day to keep it going. God bless our family farmers!

[@rhondahacker9436]

Always loved listening to Paul Harvey. When he would sign off he simply said "This is Paul Harvey, Good day!" He truly brought the importance of hardworking farmers in this video!

[@garychaney5484]

Most of us carpenters would eat our sack lunches at 12:00 and always listen to good old Paul Harvey. Almost like going to church, you didn't want to miss a single meeting!

I posted a comment 6 years ago and have 985 thumbs up and 48 replies right now. I appreciate all the nice replies. I wanted everyone to know my Dad (Robert Hicks) died in a farming accident on December 22nd 2024. I wont hear his voice anymore like in my comment but he will be with us in spirit. Of course, So God Made A Farmer was played at his funeral. He was 74 years old and still milking cows twice a day 365 days a year. These farmers are very few and far between these days. Please take a moment to appreciate the farmers and understand what they are sacrificing to put food on your table. Give Dad A thumbs up to honor him and the farmers. Thank You!!

[@BarbieLBurt]

Please accept my sincerest condolences on the passing of your beloved father a few weeks ago. Assuredly, you were blessed to have him in your life, as we were to have him dedicate his life for feeding America. May our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, bring you comfort and peace as you and your family go through this difficult time. Thanks you, Mr. Robert Hicks. 🚜🫡🇱🇷

[@nowwithmorekick]

I literally felt a little nauseous hearing all of that to than find out that someone decided to put this Steve Harvey bit in a commercial to sell a truck which is made by a well known and relatively well to do Auto motive company.and it's not like they're unveiling a super advanced truck which can also double as a tracker and ten fold more reliable and fuel efficient and affordable to the people they're advertising it to so for an organization's only focus is the bottom line which is make as much bank as easily as possible at any cost so long as we're most likely going to get away with it or have to pay a fine which is still cheaper than not doing whatever money saving schemes that got us the fine in the first place.Thats the typical big company with what you can expect vast majority of the time and they really haven't proven them selfs to have really truely cares about humanity and thats how most of the people high up in the company feels and wont cave to bigger more powerful entities than our selves like say a bank or another company which may also be gettimg extra support from said banks and some of the companies CEOs use to work for a key bank.So it's pretty sick that this company would use this to sell a truck..

[@markgunderson7057]
