Netizens took the opportunity to laud the small-town hero. The post also caught the attention of local media who were all eager to interview the farmer. One user also suggested him to use the incident as an escape plan if he ever gets detained. Catch all the reactions here: 

In somewhat similar incident, a Deli owner from the US became a local hero for collecting and replying to hundreds of letters addressed to Santa. Gino's Stop-N-Buy in San Antonio, Texas, at first glance, appears to be an average Deli but its owner has become known for replying to hundreds of children's Christmas wish lists.

It all started when the owner Aleem Chaudhry bought a regular mailbox as part of his Christmas decorations. But the children did not treat the mailbox as a prop and instead they started dropping their Christmas letters to Santa in the box. While talking to local media, Chaudhary said that last year they had 60 letters by December 15 but this year they already have more than that.
Last year Chaudhary had received almost 400 letters and he made sure to respond to all of them, and this year he plans on doing the same. He has also decided to keep out crayons near the mailbox so that kids can write down their letters to  Santa Claus. Some of the letters were from kids who did not want presents but just wanted to ask questions to Santa. Some of those questions were how can reindeers fly? and why does Santa choose to come down the chimney rather than use the front door?
