'Farmer Wants a Wife' Singles Talk Love Ahead of US Premiere

TMZ.com

There's a new farmer dating show in town...and the guys looking for love in the heart of the country firmly believe that dropping the city girls in an authentic experience of life in the campaign will lead to the woman of their dreams.

We have the four farmers -- Ryan Black, Allen Foster, Hunter Grayson and Landon Heaton -- hanging out in New York before the US premiere of "Farmer Wants a Wife"...and they think there's a simple reason why the series has been a smash hit around the world.

The series has aired in over 30 other countries and resulted in 180 marriages and 410 children! The guys say giving women a real taste of what farm life is like is a much better formula than the matchmaking vacation scenarios on most other dating shows.

The series, hosted by Jennifer Nettles, follows the four farmers on their search for love in the Midwest: they each host a group of women who abandon their city lives for the charms and challenges of country living .

In the words of one of the farmers, women can see if they bite off more than they can chew...which is of course important when looking for lasting love.

By the way, we asked why the towns and country folks were having such good matches - based on the series stats, anyway - and they have a great answer.

We'll see if their theory holds up when "Farmer Wants a Wife" premieres tonight on FOX.
