Ram Trucks Super Bowl Commercial Farmer – Keep Plowing Spot
And on the eighth day, God looked down on his planned paradise and
said, “I need a caretaker.” So God made a farmer.
God said, “I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, milk cows,
work all day in the field, milk cows again, eat supper, then go to town
and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board.” So God made a
farmer.
God said, “I need somebody willing to sit up all night with a newborn
colt and watch it die, then dry his eyes and say, ’Maybe next year,’ I
need somebody who can shape an ax handle from an ash tree, shoe a horse
with hunk of car tire, who can make a harness out hay wire, feed sacks
and shoe scraps. Who, during planting time and harvest season will
finish his 40-hour week by Tuesday noon and then, paining from tractor
back, put in another 72 hours.” So God made the farmer.
God said, “I need somebody strong enough to clear trees and heave
bales, yet gentle enough to yean lambs and wean pigs and tend the
pink-comb pullets, who will stop his mower for an hour to splint the
leg of a meadowlark.”
It had to be somebody who’d plow deep and straight and not cut corners.
Somebody to seed, weed, feed, breed, and brake, and disk, and plow, and
plant, and tie the fleece and strain the milk. Somebody who’d bale a
family together with the soft, strong bonds of sharing, who would
laugh, and then sigh and then reply with smiling eyes when his son says
that he wants to spend his life doing what Dad does. “So God made a
farmer.”
