Photo Gallery Flexing Farmers
Thomas Stocker from the Swiss canton of Argovia was one of 30 men to try out for a 2010 calendar highlighting 13 of Switzerland's sexiest farmers. This year's edition of the calendar focuses on landed men of the Jungfrau Mountains.
Not all of the poses tend toward the beefcake. Here, Adrian Remund from Basel-Landschaft seems to be going for the "cute and cuddly" factor. A calendar with female models has been around since 2005 but 2009 was the first with men.
Farmer Mario Gebendinger, a hopeful from the Swiss canton of Zurich, seems prepared to milk his moment in the spotlight for what it's worth.
Thomas Portman, from the Basel canton, answers the jury's questions in his bid for the calendar.
A man and his machine: Michael Stauber from Argovia, Switzerland.
