Yeah, he’s a black man likely from the South, but I heard stories like his many times. American Agriculture. Thank the Lord.

Another great American and story.

We best get our act together and quit trying to make America something it isn't.

I guess I’ll share another story, in spite of the fact that this thread hasn’t got legs. I just like hearing men like this talk.

TMats, I loved the stories. Thank you.

You know what? I remember watching it. Great story.

That fellow in the second video reminds me A LOT of The Lovely Girlfriend’s dad. His sound, his tone, and the way he thinks every sentence through.

I’m going to visit him this weekend, and very much looking forward to it. He’s 85.

My friend Terry was a lifelong farmer in our town. He passed 12 years ago. A great, great man and gentle giant I was blessed to know for many years. The epitome of a farmer.

TMats - Thank You for this thread, Sir!

American Farmers and Ranchers are some of the greatest, most salt of the earth people on this planet! They both define, AND sustain this great nation. Without them, there's no chance we could've made it 250 years and counting. I am humbled...They make me proud to be an American!

I felt something in my eye when I saw the tractorcade.

I appreciate you too, nhracecraft

My dad’s best friends owned a full service gas station and towing service for many years and were beloved in the community. Jimmy had a wrecker procession and his casket rode to the cemetery on the back of his.
