FOX latest series begin- ning March 8th, ‘Farmer Wants a Wife’. The new series connects four western style cowboys to unattached women who aren’t having any luck finding a mate in the big city. They’ll learn what it’s like to live and work on a real farm while hoping to find a love connection with one of the hunky homestead owners. The original ‘Farmer Wants a Wife’ premiered in the UK in 2001 and the format has since been replicated in 32 countries. According to Fox, the show has resulted in 180 marriages and 410 children, so sounds like this show could have success. let’s take a minute to meet the farmers who very much want a wife.
