Bit of a discussion in Hfd Towers this morning .
I have just had a rough weekend health wise and though I'm much better now but I do have underlying health issues .
We (OH & me) were just generally talking and OHmade a comment saying " the trouble with farmers is that farming is their identity"
We have a friend who is late 70's and can't bear to miss a market day . His wife desperately wants him to slow up and do things together but he keeps going to market and buying more livestock ....and he is very successful . His wife says that his biggest fear is that if he is not buying livestock and in the market then he will have no 'identity' ......though he will never admit it she is probably right .
........is that the problem with all of us ( or me anyway). .....farming is our/my identity .
I don't need to be continually pushing ....but I do !
Up for discussion
