A South Dakota family farm has turned winter fields into a canvas of Christmas cheer — and the internet can’t get enough. Prunty Farms, a fifth-generation farm, captured hearts with a stunning video showing farmer Dan Prunty steering a John Deere 6400 through 10 inches of snow to write “Merry Christmas” in perfect cursive. His son, Adam, filmed the moment with a drone, giving viewers a breathtaking aerial view of the snowy masterpiece.
“I just kind of free-handed it,” Adam shared, revealing the skill and precision behind the festive artwork.
The video, titled “Deere Tracks,” has now gone viral, delighting audiences and shining a spotlight on the creativity rooted in rural America. What began as a fun project between father and son has become a cherished holiday highlight online — blending family tradition, farming pride, and a dash of modern tech magic.
This isn’t the Pruntys’ first digital moment, either. Adam has been documenting farm life since buying a drone two years ago, turning their YouTube channel into a warm window into country living.
As swirling snow turns fields into a giant greeting card, Prunty Farms proves that holiday spirit thrives in the most unexpected places — and sometimes, all it takes is a tractor, a drone, and a whole lot of heart to spread Christmas joy.
