This year, I was watching the Super Bowl mainly for the commercials since my favorite team was not playing. I was disappointed at half-time when there had not even been one Budweiser Clydesdales commercial! I mean, you can't have a Super Bowl without the famous Clydesdales! Remember some of these past commercials? Not long after posting about my disappointment on Facebook, I was rewarded with a beautiful commercial. I guess it's true when people say, "Ask and you shall receive."
But, it was a commercial that aired shortly after the horses graced my television screen that stole the show. And I do believe I am not along when I say it was the best commercial EVER. And judging by the way my Facebook feed exploded with similar posts, I have a very strong leg to stand on when making that statement. According to USA Today, it was the 3rd most popular commercial (behind the Clydesdales).
If you don't know which commercial I am talking about, watch this...
Thanks to Ram Trucks, the National FFA will earn up to $1 million in donation based upon the online views of the commercial. Every view helps raise money (and awareness). You can also visit www.RamTrucks.com/KeepPlowing and share a badge.

I was so glad to see this commercial get such positive attention. Even Michael Strahan and Kelly Ripa talked about it this morning on LIVE!
Here are a few links to other blogs that mentioned the "Farmer" commercial
Until next time...Thank you God for making a Farmer.

love it! Gave me cold chills. I know my dad loved being a farmer, and he worked very hard and never regretted it. He said many times, everyone needs to work hard and he farmed until he couldn't do it anymore. He was a good one, my dad,my hero!
Loved the commercial -- pictures...eh, questionable! ;) HAHA Oh, the good ole days! So glad that the commercial is drawing so much attention to our roots!
