As we approach Thanksgiving this weekend, we look forward to celebrating the day with an amazing feast, surrounded by love, laughter, and tasty foods.
It is important to show our gratitude for the farmers across the country who provide us with food, fiber and fuel. Without farmers, we would not be having one of the most anticipated meals of the year, Thanksgiving dinner, this holiday and many of the products we use daily.
Our parent company, Farms.com, developed a video tribute called “So God Made a Farmer” containing images of everyday farmers – their hard work, dedication and passion displayed every day on a farm. It is dedicated to farmers, both past and present, who have provided our safe, affordable and abundant food.
This tribute to farmers features a well-known radio broadcaster, Paul Harvey. The original speech was given at the National FFA Convention in 1978.
In 2013, Farms.com collaborated with RAM Trucks to support the “Farmer” Super Bowl ad commercial which utilized the same Paul Harvey voice track and featured professional photographs of farmers and rural lifestyle.
Take a minute to visit Farms.com to watch both videos – Farms.com Farmers Tribute and Ram Trucks “Farmer”.
As you give thanks on Monday, October 14th, do not forget those who provide for us throughout the year. The team at Small Farmer Canada extends our sincerest thanks to Farmers across Canada. 😊
