Rodney Atkins released "Farmer's Daughter," written by Rhett Akins, Marv Green and Ben Hayslip, in March of 2010, as the fourth single from his It's America album; the song is both a bonus track on the re-release of that record and an album cut on Atkins' Take a Back Road disc, released in 2011. The tune reached the Top 5 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart (No. 5) and the Top 50 on the Billboard Hot 100 (No. 47); it has also been certified platinum. Inside, Akins tells The Boot about how "Farmer's Daughter" came to be.
