Mrs is channel surfing and skipped past “farmer wants a wife”, when a strange thought popped into my head: good on 7 for getting some farmers laid. Working a farm is tough as shit, it’s not like you can go to the pub every other night. Country towns are often small, people couple up quick outta school. So ignoring the reality tv show aspect I suppose it’s really a net positive hey.

I worked on a farm when I was 19 for about 2 years. No job has ever been as hard as that was. Not even house demolitions and that is brutal.

So what I'm hearing is not only do farmers deserve some love, but it'd be pretty... intense.
