"God Made a Farmer" Ad helps FFA Foundation

Posted:

By Sarah Gustin, News Reporter - email

There were many favorites during the big game, but 1 commercial seems to stand out.

Dodge's "So God Made a Farmer" Super bowl Commercial is the talk of the town.

The Dodge Ram Truck Ad is a piece of the late Paul Harvey's Address at the 1978 National FFA Convention.

The tribute to our farmers, also benefits future farmers with Dodge donating up to 1 million dollars to the National FFA Organization.

(Aaron Anderson / ND FFA Association) "for every hit on the web site or view of the video commercial, FFA would get a dollar up to a million dollars. So our goal is to promote the web site, promote the commercial and hopefully we can get a million people to take a look at it."

On today's cover of the USA Today you'll find a 4 full-page advertisement, promoting the "keep plowing" super bowl commercial.
