Genos need to get a copies of this ad on DVD id be the first one to buy one this has to be the best ad yet , maybe because im a Farmer and love DODGEs and am a ex FFA member ???
 
Seconds and thirds on the kudos on the commercial and our American Farmers. It's been a while since we have heard Mr. Harvey's voice and down home style and he sounded great.
 
My wife said there were a lot of comments praising that ad on her Facebook page this morning. Too bad we don't have a Paul Harvey around today to impart some common sense and basic wisdom into society.....

It almost brought a tear to my eyes as well. I was watching with my dad who grew up on a single family dairy farm and everything Paul Harvey said was the spot on truth. When the ad finished, I looked over at my dad and said, "it looks like I'm going to have to go out tomorrow and buy a new truck. " He just laughed. By far, the best commercial of the game, and I would still feel that way, even if it were for a Ford or Chevy.

Yep, Paul Harvey was a rare one..... too bad we work all those hours and still barely make the money to buy a new truck every 6-10 years, or whenever the banker approves, and in the end, it all goes to the government, because we can't afford to leave any land or equipment we actually got paid for to our kids, because they can't afford the inheritance tax, and it all goes into a farm sale to pay the estate taxes. Then, the bank buys it, or some investment company, lets the weeds grow up for 5-10 years, then sells it off in 10 acres lots... ... . The best farmland in the world is growing concrete in Dallas/Fort Worth. :{ Today, when our kids say they want to do what daddy does, it brings a tear to our eyes, and makes us lose sleep at night. We don't know how we can make that happen... ... Yes, we need more common sense in today's world. And more people with a good work ethic.
 
Just wondering, how many of you milked cows- by hand. My dad use to tell me stories of milking 50+ head by hand at -10 degrees. I only did it by hand for a little while and then we got a milking machine. I was about 10 and always did the afternoon milking. How many remember "hey check out the wort on this udder" and feeding the cats. They would all be lined up waiting for there "shot"
 
I never did it on a dairy, but I'd do it for my grandfather on the milk cow... . My grandfather, uncle, and father had a dairy for many years... . You could drop a quarter through my Grandfather's wedding band... . The survived the depression because of the dairy..... everyone still needed milk and meat. Then the war came along, and my grandfather was the only one around who could get gasoline and tires to haul his milk, as he had a war contract..... I have a picture of my grandfather lifting two full milk cans and setting them, straight armed, into the back of his delivery truck..... with two more slung over his shoulder in the other hand... .

Yep, when I was a teenager. We had two milk cows and it was my job to milk every morning. I got up at 5 AM and milked before catching the school bus that came by our house at 7:05 AM. Most mornings they were outside the barn waiting for me, but invariably if I was running a bit late, I'd have to go out in the pasture to get them. With 5 of us kids in the family, we drank lots of milk.

Yeah, and don't know how many I've had to milk that weren't exactly "milk-cows"!! :eek: Newborn calves, weak from weather or delivery, too weak to suck on their own, and you're trying to save their life (back in the day, they weren't worth but around $40), so you run "momma" up the chute to milk her... ... "Momma" is a real "mother"... ... ... Ever had your hand kicked into the steel frame of the chute by a 1500lb brangus mother cow!?!? :( Repeatedly? LOL, God bless the farmers and ranchers of this land... ... We ain't got no sense, sometimes.
