Desire to pursue an agricultural lifestyle.

In her post in January 2010, Jenna Woginrich called it Barnheart. I, personally, don't have a catchy term for this state of being, but I have an anecdote, stemming from personal experience. A perfect example is found when going grocery shopping. While people are picking up foods grown thousands of miles away, and grown with a copious quantity of pesticides, I am pondering. I am thinking about the desire, in our society, to have such consistency in our stores, that we cease to realize that seasons should have an effect on anything other than our attire. We buy imported tomatoes and berries in January. So sustainable, and so good for the local economy. In addition to pondering, this state of being also manifests itself by causing an unstoppable yearning to pursue agriculture, which can cause "interesting" reactions from friends, family, and others. Surprise and scorn are common. If we were to classify this state as a malady, the only treatment is an experimental, experiential remedy. This remedy involves working in a field, or in a barn. Your HMO likely won't cover the costs of this treatment, so it can occasionally appear unattainable. Working on a farm can temporarily allow the "symptoms" to abate, however, they will still remain present.
