Farmers all across the country seem to agree it's hard to find love in their areas and on their schedule. So, a lot of them are turning to a fast-growing website FarmersOnly.com.
Even Darice Russell from Slaton is trying out the website. She says, after divorcing her husband of twenty years, she found it difficult to meet new people on her lonesome land, away from Lubbock. Now, she and over 100,000 others have turned to the dating site geared specially to folks in agriculture.
Jerry Miller, Founder of farmersonly.com:
"Had over 75 marriages and thousands of people dating. One couple, she was 65, he was 76. They got married in less than three weeks."
Darice Russell:
"I have met some people from New Mexico and have had some dates there. It was funny because what we went to was the Texas farmers and ranchers classic. So it was perfect for both of us."
Darice says she hasn't found her soul mate yet, but she'll keep looking. Meanwhile, she has found lots of friends.
