VIDEO: Salute to WI’s ag producers on National Farmer’s Day

We’re saluting Wisconsin’s tens of thousands of ag producers on National Farmer’s Day. Here’s what you need to know about National Farmer’s Day.


We hope you took some time Thursday to salute Wisconsin’s tens of thousands of ag producers on National Farmer’s Day. In countless farmhouses around the country you’ll find a poem written by Paul Harvey in 1978, “God Made a Farmer.” It’s a poignant anthem to the work and sacrifice needed for a farm to be productive 365 days a year.

But farmers are also great at poking a little fun at themselves, so please enjoy this send-up to honor the grain cart drivers. They’re the folks who have to drive in sync alongside farmers harvesting grain with a combine. One slip-up can delay the harvest or lose a race with an approaching storm. But when the work’s all done, they can enjoy a good chuckle like the material that makes up this parody. 🎥: Yellowandco_farmhouse, Facebook #wisconsin #wisconsinnews #wisconsinoutdoors #wisconsinfarmers #farmers
