  It's a rural US and more commonly a Texas thing.
  
  
  Wikipedia (if you want to believe it) says:
  
  Although these roads are signed "farm road" or "ranch road" (or simply "FM" and "RM" on larger sign assemblies), the proper name is Farm-to-Market and Ranch-to-Market Road.

  Sorry girls...it is a Texas thing - lots of random 2 lane (sometimes all gravel) roads out here! Some of FI family lives outside (very outside) the city - hence the "farm to market."  (basically allows ranchers or farmers to transport their products from the "farm to the market" to sell) However, don't let stereotypes fool you - some of the biggest houses I've seen are on FM roads down here and come with acres and acres of land.
  Sorry for the confusion!!

  Wow you definitely learn something new every day. I would probably write the whole thing out.
