Line 18:
* Slightly off course is Sheeta from ''Laputa [[Laputa: Castle in the Sky]]''. She's a farmgirl {{spoiler|who is descended from the Laputian royal family,}} but she already knows this when we meet her (neither we nor Pazu does, though).
* Jack from ''[[MAR]]''. Really a sidekick, but still a farmboy.
* Arguably, Edward and Alphonse Elric from ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]''. Their home town of Resembool is always portrayed as a farming village, although they're never shown participating. Also, their alchemy teacher Izumi Curtis is the wife of a butcher, which also lends to the rustic charm.

Line 71:
* ''[[Mad Men]]'': Not a hero, nor a boy, but the idea of the trope is invoked by Bert Cooper upon the death of the secretary Miss Blankenship:
{{quote|'''Cooper''': She was born in 1898 in a barn. She died on the 37th floor of a skyscraper. [[Mad Men/Heartwarming|She's an astronaut]].}}
* Malcolm Reynolds of ''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'' was a rancher on the rural planet Shadow before he [[Jumped At the Call|joined up with the Independents]] against the encroaching [[The Empire|Alliance]]. He then proceeded to lose everything he cared about except his second in command, his coat, his gun, and [[Knight in Sour Armor|almost broken idealism.]]
* Played with in ''[[Skins]]''. Alo lives on a farm, and Mini's "pet name" for him is "Farm Boy."
Line 116:

* Alvin York, famous American soldier in World War I, was from a farming family and was born in a two-room log cabin near Pall Mall, Tennessee. In 1941, they made [[Sergeant York|a movie]] about him.
* [[Abraham Lincoln]] also grew up in the backwoods.
* Former [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] and UFC Heavyweight Champion [[Brock Lesnar]] grew up in South Dakota.
