These Farmers Sing Their Own Rendition of a Country Classic – And Now It’s a Viral Hit

Have you ever lived in farm country? Maybe you live there right now. Maybe you’re a farmer. If you’re not, maybe you don’t know what it’s like to live in farm country.

I grew up in the middle of farm country. While I didn’t live on a farm, my grandparents did, and I would visit often, like at least once a week. One thing that I often heard my grandfather and other farmers complain about was the weather.

One thing in particular I heard them complain about was rain, as in, we weren’t getting enough rain for the crops to grow. It seemed like we often needed rain.

I didn’t particularly love having to walk outside wearing a raincoat or holding an umbrella, so I was happy when it didn’t rain, but I knew that it made a difference for the farmers.

So, we’ve established that crops need rain to grow and it’s stressful for farmers when there isn’t enough rain. Have you ever heard a song about needing rain?

The Hunter Brothers are farm boys from Saskatchewan in Canada. They grew up on tractors, playing hockey and singing.

The five brothers, Luke, J.J., Ty, Brock and Dusty, have now released two albums. Much of their music speaks to their ordinary life and finding a silver lining in the mundane.

These talented musicians are still active in farm life. Even though they’ve been nominated for the CCMA Award four times and won the  SCMA Award three times, they still ride on tractors.

Want proof? The group went live on their Facebook page talking about how dusty and dry the ground was because there wasn’t any rain. In fact, they didn’t just talk about it; they wrote a song about it and sang it live.

Set to the tune of the Garth Brooks song, “Friends in Low Places,” The Hunter Brothers share a meaningful and somewhat silly rendition they’ve called “I’ve Got No Grain in Dry Places.”

This video currently has over 2.4 million views and over 24,000 shares. Many of the comments are well wishes for rain, and The Hunter Brothers have responded back to any and all questions people have asked including “Did he just pull a nose hair? With pliers?” The answer was “yes.”

We can’t help but wonder if this song helped them get the rain that they needed for their crops. Regardless, it was certainly fun to listen to! Were you tapping your feet too?
