Monday Night Movie Night Returns!

It's been a long time since I've posted a Monday Night Movie Night, but after I stumbled upon this gem from a classmate at Iowa State, I couldn't resist. Haley Banwart is an Agriculture Education major with an emphasis on Communication. She is passionate about the industry and can be found making a difference around campus through her internship in the CALS Communications office, leading discussions in the classroom, or in many club activities. People like Haley are the reason I love Iowa State so much, and I can't wait to work alongside people like her for the rest of my career. Without further ado, please enjoy her video, So God Made A Farm Girl.



"So God Made A Farm Girl"

And on the 8th day God looked down on his planned paradise and said I need a caretaker, 

SO GOD MADE A FARM GIRL

God said I need somebody willing to weed the garden, drive a tractor all dayin the fields feed the cows, make supper and go to town to practice whatever sport is in season, so God made a Farm Girl. I need someone with arms strong enough to bale hay and patient enough to teach a newborn lamb to nurse. Someone to walk beans, shovel grain, come home hungry and help make lunch,

SO GOD MADE A FARM GIRL

God had to have someone willing to ride the ruts at double speed to get the hay in ahead of the rain clouds and yet stop in midfield and race to help when the neighbors toddler is lost in the corn field,

SO GOD MADE A FARM GIRL

God said I need someone savvy enough to operate the auto steer and yield monitor and determined enough to pull lambs when a ewe's pelvis is so small that only her hand will fit. Who will stop her lawnmower for an hour to help her little brother find kittens in the hay mow. It had to be somebody who'd work hard and not cut corners. Somebody to seed weed feed breed and rake and bale and combine and plant and finish a hard week's work with a 7 mile drive to church. Somebody who'd bale a family together with soft strong bonds of sharing who would laugh and then sigh with and then reply with smiling eyes when her daughter says she wants to spend her life doing what her mom does,

SO GOD MADE A FARM GIRL 


I look forward to keeping up with Haley's work and will be sure to share her future projects with you! Thanks for reading!
