A farmer in southern Manitoba spent hours in the fields during the harvest devising a unique way to propose to his girlfriend \u2014 and his plan yielded a “yes” from his surprised darling.<\/p>\n
Joel Doerksen wanted to woo girlfriend Christine Ginter with a romantic proposal, but he didn’t want the usual candles, chocolates and flowers.<\/p>\n
So once the crop was off his fields near Steinbach, Man., 50 kilometres southeast of Winnipeg, he headed out back out with a GPS system to get to work on a 32-hectare marriage proposal.<\/p>\n
“It was on some canola stubble, and I took our tractor and cultivator and I cultivated the message into the field,” he told CBC News earlier this week.<\/p>\n
After five hours of work in the field, Doerksen then arranged to take a ride with Ginter over the area in a friend’s small plane. When she noticed the message, he whipped out the ring.<\/p>\n

\nIt took Joel Doerksen about five hours to carve the giant letters into his 32-acre field.

\nDoerksen got out the ring as a friend flew the couple over the field near Steinbach, Man.

Ginter, a hairdresser, said the scheme has everyone talking.<\/p>\n
“They’re quite amazed at it, actually. I show them the picture, their jaws usually drop a little bit,” she said.<\/p>\n
“All my co-workers here at the salon are showing all their clients the pictures, and they’re all amazed.”<\/p>\n
The couple is planning a wedding for next spring.<\/p>\n
