His speech began as a continuation of the Genesis creation narrative referring to the actions God took on the 8th day . In it, Harvey stated that God needed a caretaker for the land he created . The speech continues with God expressing the characteristics needed by the person he is creating: </P> <P> "I need somebody with arms strong enough to wrestle a calf and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild; somebody to call hogs, tame cantankerous machinery, come home hungry, have to await lunch until his wife's done feeding visiting ladies, then tell the ladies to be sure and come back real soon, and mean it ." </P> <P> Multiple passages setting out characteristics of the sort end with the same refrain, by which the speech is now known: "So God made a farmer ." </P>
