The Farmer's Song

[duckslayer92]

Oh...And Nothing Runs Like A Deere Besides A Bad Ass Oliver

[duckslayer92]

God Bless America And The Farmer That Feeds Your FAT ASS!

[69LoveInStone69]

This is one great tune my friend, What happen to the good old farmer anyways?

[FPSDildimoose]

Is there copyrights on this song?

[JFYukon]

Straw hats and old dirty panties!

[mmtwilover12]

LOL!!!! Reminds me of my bff!!! :D <3

[BABSINUK]

Hi,where the food chain starts,working all hours God sends,the modern day cowboy,rides his tractor instead of a horse ,more arable than cattle farming,the poor of this world can't afford meat only bread.

More cattle pigs and other food sources reared indoors,when I was a child we had rabbit stew organic wild rabbits,

[latokatn506]

Great Song with truth thank's for the upload

[MsBeautifulRed]

Sad part is that in a matter of days, the family farm in Canada could be a thing of the past unless Canadians wake up NOW and realize what's happening. Farmers have the right to vote on the dismantling of the Canadian Wheat Board as laid out in the law, and they are being denied their right to that vote. Please contact the Canadian Senate & tell them to stop the bill until farmers have had the vote they are guaranteed in law.

[TheFarmerfitz]

@MsBeautifulRed It is sad that things seem to be going that way... but even if the cwb stays,, it's still going that way.... I am a 40 yr old farmer...1000 acers...60 cows.. Im in an area where there still are smaller farmers/ranchers,more ranching, but not to far away(miles)there 's a guy with 100000 acers, & a couple more half that, and it's tough enough for established farme...For someone to start from scratch,,,(forget it)  and the Gov't seems to want things that way...

[MsBeautifulRed]

@TheFarmerfitz I agree, it doesn't look good right now, but we'll see what happens with the court case. Before the election, Ritz said he would support a vote, then after, he changed his mind. And by saying he would ignore a court ruling, this makes me wonder what other court rulings he will ignore. This goes beyond the CWB & raises serious questions about what's happening to our democracy.

[FarmallA538]

if i had the time and money i would restore all of those olddies

[MrWatsupWatsup123]

all this is a wanna be counrty singer and lost of pictures of old equipment

[ratch74]

Some really great pictures.

[Crunchmeister]

It's odd. I had a dream about this song that I woke up to this morning. Couldn't get this song out of my head. I remember this song from back when I was a kid (LOOOONG ago). I easily have neither heard it nor thought about it in at least 30 years. Yet there it was today.

I didn't really understand the point of this song at the time. Now I get it.

[thefarmall560lover]

thank you you are a good man

[simonspics1]

Thanks for sharing! Great song!

[MrWatsupWatsup123]

South Dakota!



[schnel127]

@MrWatsupWatsup123 heh... Canadian song tho

[BigLisaFan]

Moved to the country last year and there's lots of old tractors still being used and even restored for show purposes. Fellow down the way has 2 of those huge steam tractors! He runs them too and you can hear the toot from the steam whistle every so often. My neighbour uses a tractor with no name plate on it to plow the snow from my driveway. It was made in 1945 and only replaced with a newer model 2 years ago. Thanks to all the farmers who are out there doing what they do for all of us.

[alainmcin]

just one word : WOW

[dasspine58]

reminds me of spending days out in the field

[jgrell7642]

As a "City Slicker," I want to thank all of the hard-working farmers for producing food for the whole country. You are appreciated.

[comewhatmae1]

VERY GOOD! His voice sounds a little like Hank Snow, one of my favorites.

[kirkconway]

makes me shed a tear listening to this,

very poingant and moving song.

farmers do all the work and hardly anyone appreciates them.

all the older generation makes me want to go up and thank them for all theve done over the yrs and made the food what it is.

without farmer;s we wouldnt have anything.

[EchlinW]

Willie sharp loves his 178 long time,

[tyme4mike]

I so miss the days working on my brother-in-law's father's dairy/cash crop farm, swimming in the local spring fed quarry, hauling in the hay, eating farm fresh eggs and steaks, pigging out on homemade butter-slathered corn til we almost hurled, fishing all over the 1,000+ acres for anything from brook trout to suckers to cisco, and then falling asleep in the barnloft watching the sun go down on the golden fields of grain and the vibrant yellow oceans of canola. Those were the days.

[jackfkintwist]

@tyme4mike You paint a nice picture with your farm memories. Thanks :-)

[tyme4mike]

@jackfkintwist Thanks. Almost sounds surreal doesn't it? Yet, that's exactly how it was...people just don't get it anymore.

[tyme4mike]

@jackfkintwist Gee, I just found this comment..sorry for taking so long to respond. You're welcome. Those kinds of "pictures" are all over the place up here in "God's Country".

[69catskinner]

@tyme4mike I love this song....every time I hear this I'm reminded of a 1949 W-4 McCormick-Deering that still sits in my fathers garage....first tractor my grandfather ever bought...and it has the rusty ole patches of steel. He is in the process of doing the ole girl up to original.....she will never leave home!

[tyme4mike]

@69catskinner Sounds awesome. Not too many people redo tractors. I wish I had bought the old 1955 Oliver Super 55 my boss had sitting in the yard. It was in great shape but the engine was seized and I was too busy being young to want to spend the time fixing it. It sold at the farm auction for $810 I found out later. I almost cried.

[nivin97]

@tyme4mike sound nice

[tyme4mike]

@nivin97 It was nivin, it was...

[bjorkerl]

Det går att göra det mesta av reliker, Tore!

[jackfkintwist]

@bjorkerl Thanks :-)

[Raimondo988]

Lovely video man =)

@Raimondo988  Thanks ! :-)

[Raimondo988]

[van8771]

[jackfkintwist]

@van8771  :-)

[toomanyfords]

Hey,thanks for uploading this song.I have always liked it,it is one great song.

[jackfkintwist]

@toomanyfords Nice to know that, thanks for commenting :-)

[supermorshu]

the combine harvester song is fare better than this

[harrytuttle99]

It's so cool to see a polite, friendly comments section without a bunch of name-calling and ignorant language....could it be because of the "Canadianess" of this song and it's audience?

[jackfkintwist]

@harrytuttle99 Nice of you to notice and comment about that , I like it too, my other videos aren't always so well accepted ;-) I guess there is nothing controversial here just a good Canadian tribute song to the hardworkers that help provide our daily bread and some visuals of the machinery that was used I thought it made a nice combination.

[212729h]

@harrytuttle99 I'm a Canadian. You got it right.

[PCFD41]

where are these tractors located?

[jackfkintwist]

@PCFD41 They are just random pictures to go along with the song, thanks for your interest :-)

[MrBuckwilliam]

effin excellent. a great post, thanks so much :)

[jackfkintwist]

@MrBuckwilliam Thanks for leaving your comment :-)

[MrBuckwilliam]

@jackfkintwist i'm back for another listen. it is such a great song. murray was a tad underated i think. thanks again for the enjoyment you've provided me :)

[jackfkintwist]

@MrBuckwilliam Thanks for listening, nice to have you visit again :-)

[federalbecz]

thumbs up!

[jackfkintwist]

@federalbecz Thanks for leaving your comment :-)

[Kresten69]

If only all city people were this understanding of us farmers. I'm a 5th generation North American farmer, 4th generation Canadian, and as far back as records and memory go, we were farmers in Europe. In fact, my last name means "To till and work the land." I love the work, and have taken 2 off the farm jobs just too support my family farm. It is sad when the young farmers need to work well over 300 hours just to hope to keep the dream alive.

[jackfkintwist]

@Kresten69 Thanks for leaving your thoughtful comment :-)

[riderpride01]

awesome old equipment, makes a person proud to be a 4th generation prairie farmer.

[jackfkintwist]

@riderpride01 Congratulations on 4 generations of farming and thanks for leaving your comment :-)

[joelkonrath]

Schade das die tracktoren so vor sich hingammeln und verrosten

[jackfkintwist]

@joelkonrath Thanks for your comment :-)

[kirkconway]

without the farmers here in the midwest,and everywhere else?

the world would starve and not have anything,

It about time that city people start appreciating the Farmers and all they do for the world,

Again,,, God Bless ya Murray for writing such a sweet and touching song for all the farmere's,

everytime i listen to it, i get all teary eyed and look at the older machinery

and the way life is supposed to be,

[kirkconway]

God Bless Ya Murray for this sweet song,

and writing something so poingant and so moving for the farmer's that work and make the food for all of us,

and i dont thing appreciated much from the modern world,

[rebelutionfan97]

wow, love the old tractor's :D

[Hawtmomma3and1]

This song was played at my great-grand father's funeral. My cousin who plays guitar played it and sang it AMAZINGLY (if thatsa word) It was the first time I heard this song, My uncle's pick it for him. I now love this somg because it describes my grand father to a "T" He was that Dusty Ole Famer" I miss him to this day. It was 5 yr this Jan He passed away and my children who are 6 and twind 3 yr olds know this song and sing it everytime we are driving and know it is Grand-pa's song. Thank you

[jackfkintwist]

That makes a nice memory Hawtmomma3and1 :-) thanks for your comment.

Niceeee, love this music. I'm a city boy I guess still in college (high school in America), and sometimes I wish I'm a farmer boy cus I love the nature

[jackfkintwist]

Thanks for commenting blackdeckbox :-)

So NewZealand is joking? ;-)

[blackdeckbox]

How do you know Im from New Zealand!??!

[jackfkintwist]

Wohoo!  Hey good for you! We all need farmers ;-)

Thanks for your comment wilsonmanitowabi :-)

[65JD5010]

Great Vid, I love it!!!!! Good old Murry McLauchlan!!!! I am also a farmer, just a thought, I love country music, but I know another song that would give this vid alittle rock, Billy Talent's "Rusted From The Rain" !!!!!!

[jackfkintwist]

Thanks for your comment 65JD5010 I will look for the song you suggest :-)

[johndeereman567]

nice video too bad all people dont have very much respect for farmers like me. were out there bustin our backs all day long tryin to put a meal on our table and on everyone elses and all these stupid city slickers call us morons and idiots for what we do

[BuyerzStudios]

Exactly. They need too learn the diffrence between a farmer and a hick.

[johndeereman567]

well even though i am both lol u are right. just because where we come from, our accents, and what we do dont mean a thing at all. even though some of em are, not all of us are

[segarza]

The city slickers just don't understand where their food comes from...besides the local grocery store. It is sad.

[gage77788]

@segarza amen to that i know a few of em and they tick me off

[jessejmorris2nd]

@segarza just to let you know I haved always lived in the city and I have friends that are farmers and I even haved helped them out on the farms so please dont try to say no one knows where there food comes from I actualy knew where my food came from before I started going to an older mennonite church!!!!

[segarza]

@jessejmorris2nd Okay, I get it....you know where your food comes from. I didn't mean "every" person from the city. I meant many people in general. I assumed my meaning was understood. Sorry about that. At least there is a trend or movement nowadays of people wanting to learn the how, why and where of food production, both modern and older methods. It's nice to witness this change.

[blackdogleg]

@segarza you have the best life in the world dude,

[dks429]

not this slicker

[johndeereman567]

i no it aint all of em but some of em are just retarted like that. sorry

[clubpenguinhack1000]

love this song cant stop watching it 5/5

[jackfkintwist]

Thanks for watching clubpenguinhack1000 glad you like this :-)

[65JD5010]

Great Video, some person needs to restore that JD 5010 at 1:27 into the video, great old tractor!!!!!!!!!!

[jackfkintwist]

@65JD5010 That would be nice :-) thanks for commenting :-)

[torbro2]

Thank you for posting this vid.

Too bad farmers in Norway isent given so mutch respect, they are mostley considred as morons.

[jackfkintwist]

Thanks for commenting torbro2 I am sorry if what you say is true, farmers provide what we all need to exist :-)

[scrappylor]

Thanks....I love this song..and Love

how you did the video

[jackfkintwist]

Thank you for commenting scrappylor :-)

Murray McLauchlan's song is a nice thankyou to all farmers without them we would be hungry.

[azarzag]

Did you hear he is coming to Ottawa Nov 20th??

[evenplay1]

This song chokes me up. It was played at my grandfathers funeral -- a man who was a selfless farmer. Thank God for those people!

[jackfkintwist]

Thanks for sharing your feelings and leaving your comment evenplay1

[abdulboi97]

dirty-smelly farmers get a real job

[XarxesB]

you gonna grow your own food then?

[Viperkal]

Amazing song, beautiful lyrics!!

[cumminspower10]

I dont like it when people dont take pride in there machenery.

[jackfkintwist]

All these were probably once some farmer's pride and joy but there comes a day when things are just too far gone for use but they still have beauty.

Thanks for watching and leaving your comment cumminspower10 :-)

[cumminspower10]

Yeah, I agree with you on that statement, Everything eventually gets old. Every tractor may be old, rusty and doesnt run, but in some way it will always be special. To you, to me and to others.

Thanks for the video too

No Problem!

[texasman562]

I wish i could get my hand son some of them old girls... they look so sad like that

[jackfkintwist]

Thanks for commenting texasman562

If you want to read a good story about a derelict old tractor look for "The Bunchgrass Edge of the World" by E. Annie Proulx. It is included in her Close Range Wyoming stories book.

[texasman562]

Thanks I'm looking on Amazon now

[jackfkintwist]

Great :-)

[Clavittarius]

Great tune. It may be an entirely wrong or coincidental impression, but the machines appearing in the slideshow seem rather... derelict. Any extra meaning intended in that? Affirmation of life despite a difficult lot maybe? It sounds like that to me when you combine the slideshow with the lyrics.

[jackfkintwist]

Thanks for watching and your interesting comment Clavittarius. The only extra meaning that I had in combining these pictures with the song is that even though their useful life may be over there is still an intrinsic beauty in these machines. Some of them have great colour brought on by years of exposure to the elements. Others are just giving themselves back to the land. Some just have a wonderful shape.

[dstevenslsw]

Very powerful images, and the lyrics are perfect.

[jackfkintwist]

You said you were going through the list and you ARE watching everything hahaha!

Thanks :-)

[stubbleking]

Ps: If you're not a farmer--you've sure got it in your heart to be one!

[jackfkintwist]

Thanks stubbleking for all your kind comments. I am not a farmer but my old uncles had a farm and it always was a favorite place to go. I am Canadian and liked Murray's tribute song to all farmers and I like the old machinery and wish they could tell their stories.

[stubbleking]

Having farmed for many years, I drove a lot of similar tractors to those that are in your video. When I listened to the song, and watched your photos, it made me sad to think back at how often I fought with bankers and loan companies over a tractor, combine etc. And today, they're just rusted heaps of steel and rubber. I guess the same analogy can be applied to old girfriends that I loved, but also fought and argued with. Today, it doesn't matter a lot. I can tell you're a farmer!

[stubbleking]

Old tractors are like old girlfriends! They all have an interesting story behind them! And they never tell!!
