A Family’s Winter Message

In 2015, South Dakota’s Prunty Farms gained national attention for a heartwarming video called “Deere Tracks.”

Farmer Dan Prunty used his John Deere 6400 to carve “Merry Christmas” into a snow-covered field, while his son Adam filmed the scene by drone.

Art from the Heart

No stencils or software were used—just Dan’s instinct and experience.

Adam said it was “just something simple and joyful we wanted to share.”

Global Joy

The video quickly went viral, touching viewers

worldwide with its mix of creativity, tradition, and family spirit.

A Lasting Symbol

For the Pruntys, it captured what matters most: hard work, togetherness, and gratitude.

As Adam’s drone films continue to celebrate rural life, “Deere Tracks” remains a reminder that even in winter’s quiet, joy can bloom — shaped by steady hands and open hearts.
