Lonely Welsh Farmers Looking For Milk Maids

A GROUP of lonely dairy farmers have put their photographs on milk bottles in a desperate bid to find a date.

Five single Welsh farmers have advertised their lonely hearts on bottles of Calon Wen organic milk.

Their pictures are accompanied by the slogan Fancy A Farmer, and a website address where potential love interests can find out more details.

The scheme was devised by 30-year-old single farmer Iwan Jones, from Groes, near Denbigh, in north Wales.

Mr Jones, who is a director of Calon Wen - a co-operative of organic dairy farmers - said he came up with the idea for the rural matchmaking scheme after realising a significant number of Welsh farmers were single.

He said: “The Welsh countryside is a great place to live, with stunning scenery, but it can be a hard place to find a date, as I’m finding out.
