Matt Neustadt, the star of the CW reality dating show Farmer Wants a Wife, is a farmer. No really, he is. Not an actor, or even an aspiring actor (waiter). Despite the debates going on among the Farmer fans on the CW network’s online message boards, the Portage des Sioux-based farmer plants and harvests crops like corn, wheat and soy beans.
Tiny Portage, a name shortened by most of the town’s little more than 300 residents, is just across the Mississippi River from Alton, Illinois in St. Charles County. It’s the setting of the reality TV dating show, which originally was launched in England.
