So God Made A Farmer
"So God Made a Farmer" was a speech given by radio broadcaster Paul Harvey at the 1978 Future Farmers of America convention. The speech was first published in 1986 in Harvey's syndicated column. The speech borrowed a few phrases from a 1975 article written by Harvey in the ''Gadsden Times'', which was itself inspired by parts of a 1940 definition of a dirt farmer published in ''The Farmer-Stockman''. The 1940 article was copied verbatim by Tex Smith in a letter to the editor in the ''Ellensburg Daily Record'' in 1949. The speech was given as an extension of the Genesis creation narrative referring to God's actions on the 8th day of creation. Harvey described the characteristics of a farmer in each phrase, ending them with the recurring "So God Made a Farmer". The speech was used in a commercial by Ram Trucks during the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XLVII. The ad featured photographs of rural America set to a narration of a portion of Harvey's speech.
