Responses to "God Made a Farmer"
You've all probably seen this Dodge Superbowl ad by now, in which a speech from conservative radio commentator Paul Harvey, "God Made a Farmer" is overlaid on a bunch of beautiful images of [mostly] white American farmers:
but have you seen this one, which offers a much-needed commentary on the predominance of Latino farmworkers in America?
Or this one, "God Made a Factory Farmer," which brilliantly comments on the actual state of American agriculture, and on the overt advertising ploy of Dodge?
A final, much-needed response is this series of beautifully-curated photographs on the "History of America's Migrant Farmers."
