“And on the 8th day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, “I need a caretaker.” So God made a farmer”.
Happy Farmers Day!
Today we celebrate everyone who is hard at work in the barns, fields and everywhere else!
Don’t be shy and thank a farmer today, wether that be a parent or family member.
