After years of growing produce, three lucky farmers are ready to cultivate lasting relationships.

*Farmer Wants a Wife* is back for a fourth season, with a new crop of handsome homesteaders who are hoping to finally harvest their happily ever after. The popular reality dating series — an international success that has resulted in 250 marriages and more than 500 children, according to Fox — will once again connect four hunky ranchers with a group of marriage-ready single women.

The ladies, tired of looking for romance in the big city, will muddy their boots as they experience the realities of farm life while doing their best to forge connections with the eligible farmers. This time around, fans might notice a key change: instead of watching the women vie for the hearts of four hunky farmers, the upcoming season will center on just three bachelors — giving fans even more time with hoe-wielding hopefuls.

Between them, the trio tick all kinds of boxes: there's a singer-songwriter who hails from midwest cornfields, a former Rodeo star from Southern pastures, and a California farmer with a sun-soaked farm-to-table operation. One thing they all have in common? Their hearts are open to the possibility of love.

Below, meet the farmers of season 4: Braden Pridemore, Brett Maverick, and Sean Cavanaugh. Fans can also get a taste of what each bachelor is looking for on the latest episode of the Viall Files.

*Farmer Wants a Wife* debuts season 4 on Tuesday, April 21.**
