Once upon a time, in the glorious state of Louisiana, also known as LA to its cool residents, there was a group of kiddos who were just barmy about farming. Now, LA is known for its jazz music, spicy food, and Mardi Gras parties, but these kids were different.

Louisiana is a lush green wonderland, with thick bayous, winding rivers, and fields bursting with cotton, soybeans, and rice. The farmyard gang loved to wake up with the chickens, often led by their ringleader, a rooster named Boudreaux who wore sunglasses and played a fiddle, and hop aboard their groovy tractors, each one painted a different color of Mardi Gras: purple, green, and gold. Boudreaux, the coolest rooster in the coop, loved to crow about the importance of farming. He'd strut up and down the rows of crops, explaining how their hard work fed the state and kept the land healthy. Even though they were just kids, these youngsters had green thumbs that could make a cactus jealous. They worked hard, but they also knew how to let loose. They'd play hide-and-seek in the cornfields, have wheelbarrow races, and when the heat of the LA sun got too strong, they'd have epic water fights, using the farm's irrigation system.
