We'd tune into "Farmer Wants a Wife" until the cows come home. But, alas, Season 3 is nearing the end of the road.

While Farmer J'Marick "Jay" Woods has been getting to know Wisconsin contestant, ope, we mean finalist Karina Sabol all season long, we got to know her better when she graciously swung by the Journal Sentinel newsroom recently for a rapid-fire Q&A of sorts.

This season's four farmers are down to their final two daters. For Woods, it's between Sabol and Grace Clark — not to be confused with Wisconsinite Grace Girard from Season 2.
