One farmer’s wise and hilarious wisdom will inspire and have you laughing out loud. He shared some insight, and in doing so, he said that people should try to emulate this one particular but very popular crop. Watch this short but hilarious clip to hear why the farmer believes we would all be better off if we acted more like potatoes.

As anyone who has ever been involved in agriculture in any capacity knows, farming is not an easy profession. It requires a lot of time, knowledge, talent and perseverance. It will test your patience and cause a fair amount of stress, testing and stretching your faith. Like in any and every job, there will be ups, and there will be downs. Some years will produce a better return than others.

However, farmers, given their profession and because of the unique vantage point and perspective it allows, generally have a lot of wisdom. They see and think about things that many people often overlook, especially regarding crops and the proper way to work the land. In a clip posted on social media, one farmer shares some wise and hilarious insight that we could all use and apply to our lives.

In the video, the farmer stands next to a table full of potatoes and shares why you and I should be more like those popular and versatile vegetables.

“If you feel like giving up, just think about the potatoes,” the farmer says. “They grow up in total darkness, and in a while, they feed everyone. So, next time, when you are feeling you are giving up, so, please be like a potato.”

Later in the clip, he adds how we should not act.

“Don’t be like couch potato,” he says. “They are just sitting by TV and eating the other potatoes.”

Those are words to live by!
