Lyrics:
The city isn't the best place for me to be and
So the field is where I go (mmmm)
Me and my family on the farm planting crops
Working fast and then we plan slow (mmmm)
And some of the farmers work the soil till it’s bare but
trust me and give this a chance now (mmmm)
Take a ride, out, to my farm that we’re surveying right
Before we start to plant
And now I'm singing like

Soil, I know you need good health
That’s why I took a soil test to the lab
Come on now, what do you need
N, P, K, S, Ca, Mg
Say, soil, got to protect you
From all the rain, wind, and compaction too
That is why I love these roots
That, That is why I love these roots (mmmm)

I'm in love with the residue
That I pull my planter through
Although tilling is kinda fun too
I'm in love with the cover
Last night I was in the field
Planting clover and radishes too
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the cover

Oh I oh I oh I oh I
I'm in love with the cover
Oh I oh I oh I oh I
I'm in love with the cover
Oh I oh I oh I oh I
I'm in love with the cover
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the residue

One week in we let the story begin
It’s sprouted and there’s a big rain (mmmm)
Residue is so nifty, keeps the soil from shifting
Off the field like a runaway train (mmmm)
It’s hot for hours and hours but we don’t even have to scour
Because our moisture’s doing okay (mmmm)
When harvest comes we’re maxing, and it’s far less taxing
Than ripping up the soil all day
And I'm singing like

Soil, I know you need good health
That’s why I keep the soil structure intact
Come on now, what do you need?
Aggregates and microbe activity
Soil, got to protect you
From all the rain, wind, and compaction too
That is why I love these roots
That, That is why I love these roots (mmmm)

I'm in love with the residue
That I pull my seeder through
Although tilling is kinda fun too
I'm in love with the cover
Last night I was in the field
Planting clover and radishes too
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the cover

Oh I oh I oh I oh I
I'm in love with the cover
Oh I oh I oh I oh I
I'm in love with the cover
Oh I oh I oh I oh I
I'm in love with the cover
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the residue Content (except for music) property of Peterson Farm Brothers LLC

Peterson Farm Bros. I like listening to your parodies. They make me smile when I'm down and I have watched all of your parodies over and over again and I can't wait for the next one. Keep up the good work.

You guys come up the best ideas for songs about us farmers it is really tough especially when city people don’t appreciate the hard work we put in to put food on there plate

[tinakunkel]

I love you guys! I'm so glad you have new stuff 😁 I'm 51 year old grma. I was raised on a farm and ranch in Idaho. And I married a farmer/ cattleman. That did custom farming on the side. Even though we ended up divorced, my kids stayed in 4 H and FFA. It was hard work with 3 kids. But worth it. They know the value of hard work, and what you get in return. But I have to give thanks to GOD and my parents! I couldn't have done it without them!
