In this Dodge Ram commercial, the narrator tells a story of the day God made a farmer.
The ad is part of Dodge’s Super Bowl campaign, yet is over 2 minutes long. The length of the commercial means it didn’t see broadcast in its entirety. Buying 2 minutes of Super Bowl television ad space would simply not be a good use of marketing dollars. However, thanks to the Internet, the commercial in its entirety lives on.
This Dodge Ram commercial pays tribute to all the farmers in the United States that work long hours and perform physically demanding duties from sun up to sun down daily. The narrator tells the story of when God made farmers in what sounds like a pastor’s voice.
