Britain’s Sexiest Female Farmer Crowned

Finally the question on everybody’s lips has been answered. In order to put an end to the endless debates and arguments Farmer’s Weekly magazine has taken on the noble task of working out who is Britain’s sexiest farmer. After weeks of closely examining photos from around the country the winners have been announced.

I live in Devon and you can’t throw a stick around here without hitting a farmer. Most aren’t what you might consider ‘good looking’ unless you like your men/women ruddy, overfed and slightly disheveled (each to their own). Apparently though there are good looking farmers including the winner Anna Simpson of Hutton Rudby in Yorkshire.

Miss Simpson was awarding the title along with £250 and a pair of welly boots. She said she had entered the competition in order to prove that not all farmers are 60 year old men with their trousers held up by a bit of old rope (I’m paraphrasing).

‘When they told me I’d won I thought it was a wind-up. I saw the competition and I thought I’d give it a go and I was short-listed which was brilliant. I was quite surprised I got through as there were so many good entries so I’m really happy. I won £250 but I think the title alone is a great thing to have.”

The male winner was Pete Mortimore of Widdecombe-on-the-Moor, Devon. Mr Mortimore and Miss Simpson fought off some surprisingly fierce competition although some entrants looked suspiciously like farm animals.
