Brad Paisley: Shoutout to Farmers during these unprecedented times (Audio)
In a recent interview, Paisley offered up some praise to all those in the farming industry for doing their part to keep items on the grocery shelves.
I’m guilty of, my entire life, reaching for an apple, and eating it, and not thinking about where it came from. Do you find yourselves, I do right now, picking up an apple and looking at the basket and there’s two apples left, going oh we need to get apples. Then realizing that may not be on the shelf when you go to Whole Foods, they may be out of that. I know they’re out of certain things. Cheese slices in our kitchen, I’m looking in there and it was like oh we’re down to two. Last night, I was going to pull out a cheese slice and eat it, because I do that sometimes as something to eat. I looked and there was two left, and I realized those are probably going in a sandwich today for the boys, so I had to leave that because I don’t know when we’re getting another packet of cheese slices. It’s different, it’s things we didn’t think about two months ago. So yeah, I am thankful for the famers. They are in it, and they can’t stop, and they know that. It’s not like they get to shelter in place, they have to go out to work, they have to have workers picking the crops, and packaging things. It’s the epitome of an essential business.
