Another favorite of mine, made popular by the Ram Truck Superbowl commercial a few years ago, which was an edited version of a convention speech he gave for the Future Farmers of America in 1978, is So God Made a Farmer.
It's difficult to not feel something spiritual in listening to the speech.
When it was played, often I would be in the car commuting....and be balling like a child, as I headed home.
"I need somebody with arms strong enough to wrestle a calf and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild; somebody to call hogs, tame cantankerous machinery, come home hungry, have to await lunch until his wife's done feeding visiting ladies, then tell the ladies to be sure and come back real soon, and mean it."[Note 1] —~ Paul Harvey
