Carrie Underwood is facing a battle far from the spotlight—and it’s happening on her own land. The American Idol legend is struggling to keep her massive 400-acre Tennessee farm and its dozens of animals in order, and the problem isn’t money—it’s manpower. Despite her fame, she can’t find enough workers to help keep the property running. Fences need mending, fields need tending, animals need care, and the workload is piling up fast. It’s a race against time before the farm—and the creatures who call it home—feel the strain. Now, Carrie is sending out an urgent call for help, because even country superstars can’t do it all alone.

Owning a farm was a no-brainer for Carrie Underwood, who grew up on one in Checotah, Oklahoma.

A self-described green thumb, the country star, 42, lives on 400 acres with her husband, former NFL player Mike Fisher, and their two young sons in Tennessee, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

But a source said the constant grind of farm life is beginning to wear on the Before He Cheats singer.

Too Much To Manage

“It’s become too much for her to maintain, and she’s getting no sleep because she’s up at the crack of dawn taking care of all these animals,” said the insider of the chickens, horses, and sheep on the property, which also includes fruit trees, a greenhouse, and multiple gardens.

“She’s shoveling hay, weeding, fertilizing, harvesting, and then there are the repairs that never end.”

The source added: “It doesn’t help that she’s had a hard time finding and keeping hired hands.”

The ‘American Idol’ judge’s picture-perfect posts hide sleepless nights and endless chores.

Not that any of the American Idol judge’s 13.4 million Instagram followers would notice.

While Underwood will occasionally reveal a downside (a swarm of bees), her grid is filled with wholesome pics.

“It’s picturesque on social media,” said the source. “Behind the scenes, it’s far from idyllic.”
