GUEST,Larry L. Stout Origins: The Farmer Is the Man (24) RE: Origins: The Farmer Is the Man 26 Sep 05


Knowles Shaw, the writer of "The Farm is the Man that Feeds Us All," grew up and preached his first sermon in our church, Big Flatrock Christian, Rushville, Indiana, before going on to world fame as "The Singing Evangelist". Several years ago I located the sheet music of this song without the chorus. Then I came across this site and found the chorus as well as the words. Reference is made that they were found in "The Century of Song," Vol. II, comp. Adam Geibal (Philadelphia 1897). I lucked out and found Vol. 1 & II on eBay and purchased them. I was disappointed today when they arrived and this song was not in either book. And these are the original books in great condition but worthless to me without this song included. What gives?
