Good wives are in short supply in New Zealand, so much so that a local women's magazine is running a Find a Farmer a Wife competition.
Already 22 eligible bachelors have put their names forward in the hope of finding love and romance.
Any young single women who are in search of love, and who fancy a farmer could do well to get hold of the latest edition of the Australian Women's Weekly (NZ Edition).
In the February edition, which is on sale now, the`re are 22 rural Romeo's listed - all of whom are looking for love and commitment.

Actually I thought it was more a case of not enough men to go around in NZ these days.

Wow... pretty exciting to see my story as the "top story"...

If they turn this into a reality show, I'm going to cry bitter tears.

Isn't there a historic reference here? I seem to remember an old story of a shipload of women from a women's prison in England being ferried down to NZ to become farmers wives and to 'humanize' the colony. History repeating. :o).

Also, potential brides fighting over Kiwi agricultural types has a rich cinematic history...

It'd make a more realistic reality show than a lot of the ones on TV these days - I daresay the 22 farmers in the article aren't practised actors and not all perfect either. Must say I'm not a fan of reality TV - it's about as unreal as it could be!
