Rice Rice Baby “It’s good for you and the chicks love it too!”

Youngsters from Arkansas Rice Farm Rap Their Version of Ice Ice Baby

By , Farms.com

The year of 2012 could be known for agriculture’s newest farm-fresh commodity – musical parodies of popular songs with an agricultural twist. I just saw a new one today and thought I would share it with all my farming friends. This one is called “Rice Rice Baby” and features a couple of little guys rapping their hearts out to Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby”.

It’s great to see the next generation of farmers engaging the public more than ever; and sharing their messages with non-agricultural folks in the digital realm. I know for myself I personally appreciate this new approach to information sharing – using popular tunes that everyone can relate to, while singing, or in this case, rapping about rural life and growing food for the world.

Enjoy the video below of the Searcy boys from Wynne, Arkansas rapping about rice farming.
