- 1). Be social and go where people gather. Rural churches, libraries, civic meetings, sporting events and fairs are good places to start. Look for single people who share your interests.
- 2). Don't forget professional gatherings, such as a local grange or farmer's organization. A new twist on "speed dating" has been dubbed "weed dating," where men and women interested in agriculture socialize while sprucing up fields.
- 3). Try online sites devoted to single farmers, such as farmersonly.com. The biggest advantage of a farming-specific site is that both parties, presumably, know what's involved in working on a farm.
- 4). Don't be afraid to ask acquaintances about potential farm mates. Asking friends has the added advantage of increasing the odds of compatibility, since they'll know both of you.
