The following was sent to me, as I guess I'm a listed publisher somewhere. I think by a Chicago outfit, but I don't pay much attention to that kind of thing. Not to belabor, but this struck me as worthy of passing on, in this farm and ranch region I'm in, for good reason. One, it's almost Valentine's Day. Just prior to Terry and me meeting, she got speeding tickets two Valentine's Days in a row. I'm hoping I can help make others' V - Day a notch better.

Two, I met my wife of five years through SingleParentMeet.com and can't recommend this approach highly enough. I was a skeptic at the start, but somehow their ad popped up on my AlaskaCafe blog, which usually only gets fishing related ads placed there by Google Ad Sense's intuitive software. Well, I had to pay my $9.95 to e-mail a girl who said something that struck a chord with me, and the rest is history. She lived in Central Point, and I in Dallas, OR, but I moved to the Rogue Valley and never looked back.

My kids joined us one at a time to launch their careers and that has been working exceedingly well. Even my kids in wheelchairs moved to within two blocks of us. Terry is the emotional anchor that we all needed. She seems to be an emotional anchor at the hospital where she works as well. I would go so far as to say it was a miracle. And the last fact on the subject of the internet playing cupid is that one out of five marriages are arranged this way now. I wouldn't doubt the percentage goes higher still.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

This Valentine’s Day there will be Fewer Lonely Farmers

…thanks to FarmersOnly.com

Everybody thought Jerry Miller was crazy when he started an online dating site for farmers: FarmersOnly.com. Because his job entailed working with thousands of farmers throughout the country, he saw there was a big need for this site - not only for farmers, but also their neighbors.

“I heard the same story over and over again,” says Miller. “Living in a small rural town, if you’re not compatible with anybody in your community, what do you do? Go to the next town over to hang out at the feed store all day… and hope?”

So he took a chance and started FarmersOnly.com a few years ago, and it’s working better than he ever imagined! FarmersOnly has had over 150,000 people sign up. Members have formed thousands of friendships and hundreds of couples have already gotten married.

FarmersOnly.com has a section on the site called “The Barnyard Buzz.” This is where members send in their success stories. Here are a few of these stories:

I was told about FarmersOnly by my brother-in-law. About a week after I posted my profile I recieved a flirt from Tim. We had an immediate connection since we had so much in common. Tim & I were married on Oct 2, 2010. We have you to thank for bringing us together. We would never have met without your website. We lived 6 hours apart. Tim is such I wonderful man. We are truly happy & in love. Thank you!

John and I signed up within days of each other in early June 2008. I was BlondeIDgirl and he was ModernDay Cowboy! He was the first person to respond to my profile. I knew from the moment I saw his profile and read everything about him that he was someone I wanted to get to know. We talked for 3 weeks and then he flew out to see me in Idaho! From that moment on, we saw each other every month and he proposed on Valentines Day February 2009. I moved to Ohio in June 2009 and left my teaching job and family to be with him, so we could start our life together. We married October 3rd, 2009 and have been happily married for a year now with a son that was born on October 4th, 2010! Everything about our relationship worked out perfectly and I truly feel like it was a God Thing bringing an Idaho girl and an Ohio boy together by using your site! I am forever grateful to you for your site because without it I may have never met my husband. Thank you again for having this amazing site! I am forever grateful to you and your site!

I found out about FarmersOnly.com through my next door neighbor. Her dad told her about it and since she was dating someone she told me I should try it since I grew up on a farm. I logged on not ever dreaming I would be married to a guy less than 2 years later. We spoke via instant messager and e-mail for awhile then started talking on the phone and then I invited him to Iowa and the rest is history. I was living in Waukee, a suburb of Des Moines and Daniel lived on a family farm near Lone Elm, Missouri. We just purchased a 30 acre farm with a house. I'm so happy to be living in the country and look forward to raising our kids how I was raised only no hogs or cattle just grain. We got married November 13, 2010 and had a farm themed wedding with lots of great pictures around the farm.

“I met my husband, Travis, on FarmersOnly last March, and we were married this July 20th. We started talking, decided to meet, and spent our first 2 days working ground for planting season. We fell in love, and got married! All thanks to FarmersOnly. It was the only dating site either one of us had tried, and loved it because they were country folk just like us.”
Thanks FarmersOnly!
