"Farm Strong" is the fourth episode of the fifth season of the American sitcom Modern Family, and the series' 100th overall. It was aired on October 9, 2013. The episode was written by Elaine Ko and directed by Alisa Statman.
Cameron's (Eric Stonestreet) sister Pam (Dana Powell) comes for a visit from the farm and Cam and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) are afraid to tell her that they are getting married because they do not want to hurt her feelings of her still being single and because Cam claims that Pam is very sensitive. Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) is the one who finally tells her. Pam seems extremely happy with the news and shares her own news with them; she is engaged to Cameron's first crush, Bo Johnson. Cam gets really upset hearing that and Pam tells him that no one in the family wanted to tell him because he is too sensitive and they were protecting him, something that contradicts Cam's earlier assertion and makes Cam even more upset.
Luke (Nolan Gould) plays on the school's soccer team and Phil (Ty Burrell) and Claire (Julie Bowen) have to be there every weekend to see him, something that makes them miss their whole weekend. Claire convinces Phil to skip the game this weekend since Luke only sits on the bench and plays for only five minutes. Claire does her errands and then goes to Luke's game because she is bored and has nothing else to do. When she gets there she realizes that Luke plays since the beginning of the game and he has the game of his life. Claire feels guilty for convincing Phil to miss it and she asks Luke not to tell his father that she was there. In the meantime back home, Phil accidentally destroys a bird's nest and kills the baby crows that are inside, something that makes him feel bad for the rest of the day.
Meanwhile, Gloria (Sofía Vergara) has some trouble reading and Jay (Ed O'Neill) and Manny (Rico Rodriguez) try to make her admit that she needs glasses. They are not very successful since every mention to Gloria about glasses just makes her mad and she continues to deny that she needs them.
