The family gained widespread attention with their \u201ctractor snow art,\u201d where farmer Dan Prunty skillfully used his John Deere 6400 tractor to carve \u201cMerry Christmas\u201d into a snowy field.<\/p>\n
The video, titled \u201cDeere Tracks,\u201d<\/em> was filmed by Dan\u2019s son, Adam, using a drone. From above, the footage revealed the intricate cursive design etched into 10 inches of snow. Adam practiced the path himself before filming his father\u2019s final run, describing the project as a freehand creative effort.<\/p>\n The mesmerizing video quickly went viral, introducing audiences to the unexpected art of tractor snow writing. Its combination of farming precision, artistic flair, and holiday warmth struck a chord with viewers. The drone footage offered a breathtaking bird\u2019s-eye view of the message sparkling against the white landscape.<\/p>\n For the Pruntys, this was part of a larger passion. Adam had been capturing the beauty of farm life since buying a drone two years earlier, turning everyday agricultural scenes into compelling visual stories.<\/p>\n Deere Tracks<\/em> shows how modern technology can enhance tradition, blending nostalgia with innovation. More than a viral sensation, it\u2019s a reminder that joy and creativity can flourish anywhere\u2014even in frozen fields\u2014when passion and family tradition come together in the spirit of the holidays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" First published in 2015, this story celebrates creativity, tradition, and holiday cheer from Prunty Farms, a fifth-generation family farm in South Dakota.
