Erotic farm girls calendar aims to make agriculture alluring

Hoping to make working in agriculture more attractive to younger Germans, a Bavarian farming association has presented the latest edition of a calendar showing farm girls in erotic poses.
The 2010 Young Farm Girls Calendar is meant to be “an homage to all the young women farmers in Germany who support agricultural work in a self-confident and fun manner,” according to the website of the Association of Young Bavarian Farmers.
Inspired by a similar rural pinup calendar started in neighbouring Austria in 2001, the group has expanded beyond using only comely Bavarian lasses for a tribute to pan-German pastoral beauty.

“We want to present young farmers as modern and open-minded entrepreneurs and do away with the antiquated image and do away with preconceptions,” said Elisabeth Köstinger, the chairwoman of Association of Young Austrian Farmers, in a statement.
The calendar shows scantily clad women posing in various bucolic or farmland landscapes. For example, Ms July stands in a field of wheat sporting pigtails and a corset with a tractor in the distance, while Ms September attends to cider vats wearing a gossamer nightshirt.

Related thread starting back in 2005: Bavarian farmgirls calendar
Amusingly, most of the girls involved in previous years have only a very vague connection with anything even remotely agricultural. For example, I recall reading about one of the "farm girls" whose uncle owned a farm and prior to the model shoot the closest she'd come to it was visits as a young child.
Edit: Keydeck's fingers are more nimble than mine.
Hoes for hos.
A. Because she kneaded the dough.

I'll get me coat.
Oh yeah? What kind of German farm girls have you seen in Kentucky hillbilly?
BTW, Heinrich, what did you expect? For them to smile like lilies????
Ich glaube deine Nase ist arrogant.
But I'd recommend looking at all the pics before you order...
Bottom line there is no money in it. In farming that is.
In calenders there is money to made.
As for the calender, I am happy to see my birthday month representing well ... Go December!
