Is it odd I want to try a farming sim - not a cartoony one, but one of the realistic ones - which would you recommend?

I think yes, or you could go play some FB farming simulators (ex. Farmville) which are way worst...

and metacritic would make it that low, its a casual game to make crops and you know.

Don't pay so much attention to what others think of the game. This seems to be closest to what you want, check out some videos, do a bit of research and decide for yourself.

True, but decided to post here first as a starting point - you never know what will come up, like the SimFarm suggestion below...

SimFarm?

Whoa, I had actually never heard of this - came out while I was living in Tokyo. Free download even...

EDIT: While in no way realistic (visually), it IS free and has great ratings - thanks for the suggestion on this one, I may try it, but am also looking for a more realistic sim.

Okay, that was just freaky - the guy looks like a coworker of mine and even sounds like him a bit, plus the guy has his own landscaping company and plows snow in the winter... See, freaky.

is there a difference between Agricultural Simulator and farming simulator ?

Comment has been collapsed.

Yes, there are some noticeable differences. AS focuses on complexity, amount of content and visual representation (e.g. real terrain/terrain deformation), but it has no modding capability and afaik it's plagued by bugs, glitches and performance issues.

FS on the other hand generally has less complexity and content and doesn't look as good (no real terrain/terrain deformation), but it's mostly free of bugs, glitches and performance issues, and it also has an active modding community that counteracts a load of the disadvantages FS has compared to AS.

Again, a nugget of wisdom that I wouldn't have found out about otherwise - thanks, even though I wasn't the one to ask for the comparison.

Take it with a grain of salt. It could be that the problems that AS has (performance, bugs etc.) have been fixed by now.
Anyway, happy to be of service. :)

Farming Giant. More of a strategy game than a simulation though.

All of these differences makes me wish someone did a game that combined all the best parts of these, but then again, I wish that about several games at the top of their respective genres.

Strategy part of FG, graphics/size/content of AS and reliability and modding capability of FS? Sounds too good to ever be true. :D

Depends what you're into, really...

I've been playing a lot of Farming Simulator 2013 (Shameless plug here) and I really enjoy it! It has its own rewarding charm. It's also Cooperative... so find a friend and play! If you have any friends interested, that is...
I've never tried Farming Giant as Vercinger suggested, so I'm going to take a peek into that.

A more casual Farming game would be Family Farm or their more recent release Goodfolks - Though I'm not too big a fan of Goodfolks, it is far too obvious a tablet port.

Furthermore, I am excited for the upcoming release of Stardew Valley - Totally a Harvest Moon for the PC.

Okay, due to obvious pubic demand I will give you some links to a legit German site, that sells this Simulator crap :D
Agrarsimulator 2013 DELUXE with DLCs.
Don't like it? M'ay: What about Agrar-Giant?
Or you need something more crazy? Something like Plant fire brigade Simulator?
Or a Lumberjack Simulator? Or Special vehicles Simulator? Or Emergency Simulator? Or Bridge Simulator? Or ski resort Simulator?
Also very relevant: Oil platform Simulator Also very popular: Euro truck special manoeuvring Simulator!
There is even a Road sweeper Simulator and a Warship Simulator and a Deep Sea Fishing Simulator.
Last but not least: the must have in Germany: the brand new Seduce me Simulator (NSFW).
