SELKIRK, Man. – A Manitoba farmer has harvested a “yes” to a marriage proposal he plowed into a field.

John Yokimas took his girlfriend, Sally Hnatiuk, for a plane ride on Friday.

While airborne they flew over his romantic question — “I Love U Sally. Will U Marry Me?” — written in a wheat field in big letters.

The East Selkirk farmer says Hnatiuk was in shock when she saw it, but immediately accepted.

The couple plan to marry next fall. (CTV Winnipeg)
