Farm land, life giver
When the cold rears ugly head
It will get frost bit.

Well well well...welcome again heh...

feedback good or bad you say...

ok then..to me this feels slightly stilted..forced into the syllable count...

it's the middle line that does it:

When the cold rears ugly head

the its that is missing between rears and ugly is noticeable...

hmmm

how about:

Farm land, life giver
The cold rears its ugly head
And earth is frost bit.

or some such thing to introduce the flow a bit more?

Cannot look much but your form suffers
