When 59-year-old bachelor farmer Cyril Evans runs a personal ad in Queensland Country Life offering to swap his reconditioned John Deere 9750 STS combine harvester in return for a wife of “breeding age” - all hell breaks loose!

A fourth-generation grain and beef producer, Cyril Evans promised his father he would never sell the family property Evanswood. But life didn’t quite go as planned for the likeable Cyril. Due to a sad misunderstanding 33 years ago, his marriage to the lovely Delmay Maydel was called off the night before the wedding.

In quick time, a bevy of people appear on his doorstep. They include the beautiful young Skye Weston, who has been driving and fixing headers since she was 12; Cyril’s jilted fiancée from 33 years ago, Delmay June Maydel; Cyril’s neighbour Gus Bell, who has his own secret agenda; a sexy mystery woman Roxanne “Roxfox” Foxton; and a well-mannered young grazier Doug Dinnington.

Cyril’s newspaper ad starts a chain of events with both comical and serious repercussions.
