It's that time of year! Time to start your plants and veggies to get ready for this summer's gardening season.

One thing I will always be proud of is that I was a farm kid.  I thought it would be fun to show all the farmers my appreciation by putting together my top five picks of "farming put to pop music".  The videos are clever, entertaining, and true.  If you like to eat, thank a farmer.  Enjoy the the farm parody countdown:
