**Monday 1 February at 8.45pm**

_The Farmer Wants a Wife,_ returns to Channel Nine at 8.45pm Monday, 1 February with six new farmers looking for love.

In her first television presenting role, **Sam McClymont** of Australia’s number one country group, _The McClymonts_, will host the program.

The farmers are:

> Farmer Adam (VIC)  
> Strong-willed and driven, Adam has worked hard to get himself to a position where he can buy his farm and now he’d like to share it with someone.

> Farmer Jedd (SA)  
> Prioritising the remote family business has meant no time for love for this eco-oyster farmer.

> Farmer Julz (SA)  
> This straight-up rough diamond would love a real woman who can crack open a tinnie around a campfire.

> Farmer Lance (QLD)  
> This old-fashioned cowboy longs for a lady who’s comfortable mucking in or wearing heels for a night out.

> Farmer Lachie (NSW)  
> He failed to find love through Married At First Sight – but will Cupid strike this time around?

> Farmer Matt (WA)  
> This heir to a cattle station feels the pressure to build the business and find a best friend to share it with.

> The Farmer Wants a Wife is one of the most loved television series in Australia – it has already produced eight marriages, three long-term relationships, and recently notched up baby number ten.
