Do it yourself! Just jump on it or break and replace it.
Thats cause farm land is considered to be not a full block so the torch can't even atempt to place. (like trying to put a torch on a half slab in the lower position.
Probably best though to add this as a suggestion to Mojang though to make what your expecting happen on the minecraftforums.
