The Farmer in All of Us: An American Portrait

If you’re a farmer, have farmers in your family, know a farmer, or you have affection and admiration for farmers, you need this book. Beautifully photographed with a touching tribute, written by Paul Harvey. It’ll brings tears to your eyes. Makes a great gift and looks good on your coffee table.

I was not aware that Paul Harvey had completed an essay on farming and this seemed to be a great gift for my father. He and I have spent many hours in the tractor which included the Paul Harvey show and have always enjoyed hearing "The Rest of the Story". The pictures are beautiful and Paul Harvey is an eloquent speaker. Highly recommended for all farmers and those that would like a view of the lifestyle!

I grew up on a farm. Of the qualities identified in Paul Harvey's essay and reinforced through the photographers pictures and the accompanying text, none stand out more clearly than the character and integrity of the farming community. This book uniquely combines the written word with photography, to define a work ethic and morality that should guide all of us. A special thank you to Dodge Ram for the vision to bring to life, the essay "God made a Farmer". It should rank as one of the best commercial ads ever created. And thank you to National Geographic for creating a coffee table book that keeps all of this at my fingertips.

Great gift for my famer and former FFA member and my farmer uncle. We all need to remember that without a farmer we would not have food to eat. Also I love that Dodge/Ram Trucks is giving proceeds from each book sold to the National FFA. Great Buy

This book is GREAT! I grew up "in the country" and it really hits home! Makes me think of my grandfather. Purchased for my brother (a farmer) and he loved it as well. Can't read the poem without crying. Love the pictures. GREAT GREAT book!

The book is wonderful; it has some amazing pictures that really capture the life of a farmer. It is more of a coffee table book, though. There are some tidbits of information about the photographers, but not much actual reading material. Most of the pictures have a line of information indicating where the picture was taken and on who's farm, but there isn't really any direct information about the farmers, their lives, or what they do. If they had included the occasional page of information on what has driven that particular person to keep the farming tradition alive or some hardships they have had to endure, that would have pushed the book over the edge and I'd have given it five stars. Amazing photography from very talented people though.

This book is stunning, heartwarming, and sentimental for all the American farmers and farm lovers out there. My dad loved it and he is so hard to shop for.

Came in perfect condition. Great on a farmers coffee table!

I loved the photographs, made me very nostalgic
