"I think that the morals and the precedents that it sets in the southern and western community is such a vital part of what we're doing on Farmer Wants a Wife. It is truly Yellowstone meets the Bachelor," Groom says.
The farmers show the women, and viewers, what life is really like on an actual working farm such as tending to the land, feeding cattle, baling hay, and handling day-to-day business operations.

"It brings the real into the reality for it. Like you move to their farms with them and you are going to live with them on a farm and you have to get down and dirty real quick. And honestly, farm life is the best life is what I think," says Baker.
Farm life definitely isn't for everyone, but these three women with their Southern roots knew it was a perfect fit.

"I'm a Western fashion blogger and a fourth-generation cattle rancher, so it was somewhat like the life I grew up on, but it was super fun," said Newman.
But being on the national stage comes with its own set of challenges.
"It was a lot for me because this is something I've never experienced before, and I know that some of these girls have never experienced it before. But like the cameras and everything, I got a little camera-shy. But it was a great experience. All in all, I wouldn't take it back," Baker admitted.
You can see the drama unfold on 'Farmer Wants a Wife' airing every Wednesday on FOX.
