On the vein of loving farmers there is this song/video/commercial I am obsessed with

This is a promotion for the Chevy Silverado pickup truck, and although there isn't a lot to say about the video visually besides the fact that it could be well made, is cohesive, doesn't overly and obnoxiously flaunt chevy silverados etc etc etc, I still find it a good story, which is just as important if not more than having attractive visuals when wanting to sell something. Today I have probably watched/listened to this at least five times. Which is bad because I really need to be doing homework and it is distracting me but it is sooo good.
Also having to do with loving farmers is the farmers market on church street which I visited on Wednesday. I only had half an hour before my class ended on the west bank and when I had to be at work at the bookstore, and so I decided it was a good day to use my bike. After class I pedal to the metaled over to Farmer's Market and made a quick purchase of Tomatoes, Peppers, and Green beans for a grand total of $7 before biking quickly back to our apartment to stow the valuables quickly in the fridge, then hopping on my bike to get to work. Thankfully I made it in time! I really hadn't premeditated what I wanted to get at the market, I just went off of what looked good when I got there! So far the peppers have been crisp and zingy, the tomatoes juicy and red red red, and green beans crisp and flavorful.
I am a huge fan of the farmers market because 1) it is convenient 2) it's cheap 3) its fresh 4) and healthy - all fruits and vegetables! Also it is fun to be out in the sun with all of the colorful fruits and vegetables for the senses to drink in.
