My wife just told me to go watch it. It almost brought a tear to my eye.

No truer words have been spoken.

It is on Youtube.

I gotta go with the Paul Harvey followed by the Budweiser Clydesdale.

 

Paul Harvey, followed closely by the Clydesdale/trainer ad

 

Me too! I heard that Paul Harvey farmer respect bit years ago.

Does anyone know when he first recorded it?

 

I didn't even know who Paul Harvey was...But the good internet search I found who the man was...

He recorded the Farmer' Speech back in 1978...Learn something new every day..

Man...do I remember pitching those darn square bales when I was growing
up..

Could start a real war here..What would happen if all the farmers went on strike...Who would survive the best...

In the words of Hank Jr. " a country boy can survive"....

 

Come to think of it, if you didnt know who Paul Harvey was, you may not know who Hank Jr. is either.....dern kids....

and now you know the rest of the story....

 

The farmer commercial was the best hands down. I like and respected the Clydesdale commercial, thought it represented that culture well. With that being said, nobody eats without a farmer, horse nor man, no matter what.

There my vote lies.

 

I guess so...Just a sore spot when people who never grow up on a farm,cut down farm people...Nothing against people who grow up in the city...

But keep a open mind...Work on a farm...That's work and pride..

Our farm was both grain and cattle...Work was 12 months out of the year,7 days a week..It was life...Not whining about it...But that is farm life..

If it wasn't harvest...You where pulling calves at 5 am in the morning...

I sure miss those days now...

 

...I'm the same age as you are...But thanks...

Also...That song by Hank Jr...says it all.....Thanks..

 

Almost?

Wish I could count the sick calves I've saved, and forget the ones I lost.

Found a new set of twins in the pasture a couple years ago, one was stillborn, the cow stood there while I checked it, the bellared at me while I walked away, as there was nothing I could do, but she didn't seem to understand that.

Yeah, I like my critters more than I like most people.

 

Finally saw it. I had also heard it years ago and am glad Dodge used it in the way that they did.
