During the holiday season, spreading Christmas joy is a cherished tradition for many. Some may craft personalized cards to send to loved ones, while others might bake cookies to share at work or lend their voices to caroling. Yet, at Prunty Farms, a unique idea took root to extend holiday cheer to a wider audience.
When ten inches of snow blanketed their fields, a farmer named Dan embarked on a special Christmas mission. With just one opportunity to get it right, he relied on his years of tractor-driving experience to execute a plan that could reach countless people.
The task at hand was to imprint a message in the snow, a task with no room for error. Once the snow was pressed down, there would be no going back to fix it. Yet, with unwavering faith and determination, Dan set out into the vast expanse of the field, while his colleague captured the endeavor from above with a camera mounted on a drone.
As Dan maneuvered the tractor across roughly two acres of land, the drone documented every moment, revealing a magical scene unfolding below. Though the outcome remained uncertain until the very end, there was a collective trust that something special was taking shape.
And indeed, the result surpassed all expectations. What began as a heartfelt gesture to spread holiday cheer blossomed into a viral sensation. Even though the footage was captured two years prior, it recently resurfaced online, captivating audiences once again.
Prunty Farms proudly shared their creation, a sprawling message etched in snow, spanning two acres: “What do you get when you mix a Tractor, a Drone and 10” of Snow? A TWO ACRE MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Hopefully, Santa will see it when he flies over on Christmas Eve!”
Viewers marveled at the ingenuity and heart behind the endeavor, expressing gratitude and awe in their comments. This display of snow art served as a poignant reminder of the power of simple gestures to unite and uplift, especially during the holiday season.
