Farmer Tom bares all at Euroa Show

IN a world-first exclusive interview at the Euroa Show, Tabilk’s Thomas Boyer – known across Australia as Farmer Tom – has revealed he is still on the market, in an announcement sure to interest local ladies.

Fans were left heartbroken after the recent Farmer Wants a Wife contestant and his chosen lady, Sarah, split up after the popular Channel Seven show aired.

“I am currently single,” Farmer Tom confirmed to The Euroa Gazette on Saturday.

While cagey on the topic of his love life, he said there are “some” ladies who lived “relatively close” with whom he was “kind of seeing where they'll go”.

The farmer also shared that he had been inundated with messages from fans of the show who wanted to date him.

“There was a lot of interest in all of us, we were all in kind of the same boat with that,” Tom said.

“None have really gone anywhere so far.

“It’s kind of hard to go on dates with a lot of people; you don't want to be spending your whole life doing that.”

Tom said his life had “pretty much stayed the same” after he appeared on Farmer Wants a Wife.

“When you go out, you might get recognised a fair bit if you go to something pretty big, or selfies with people,” he said.

“But apart from that it's pretty normal.

“Everyone treats you pretty normally.”

Before this tell-all interview, Tom had officially opened the 132nd Euroa Show with some short and sweet remarks.

“Some might recognise me from this season's Farmer Wants a Wife,” he told the crowd.

“If not, I'm not stressed, like that's all good.

“I did win the Tiny Tots competition here, a fair while ago.

“So, you know, I've still got it.

“Been wandering around this morning; saw the chickens in there.

“You know, all the good handsome roosters.

“Me included.

“But no, thank you for having me.

“The show's officially open; have a good day.”

Before the speech, Euroa Agricultural Society president Lyndal Dean told the crowd she had a “bone to pick” with Tom because he once beat her son in the tiny tots competition.

Ms Dean later said meeting Tom had been among the highlights of her day.

“I watch bugger all television and I've never ever watched the show, but he came across as a really genuine, nice young farmer,” she told the Gazette.

“We were having a great talk about cattle and cropping right before we got up on stage.”
