PLEASE do your best to learn not to be held to a course of action that does not suit you by your worry about what others will think. Far too many folk born in farming stay because of what they think their family will think if they leave instead of following their hearts. It's corrosive for the mind.I might, tbh it's something I have been mulling over for a while. If we had a better farm with better facilities than we have then sure, it would feel better. We'll see what summer brings anyway I guess. Parents always say we have to work we with what we have, which I guess is true, but it's so frustrating. I'm thinking at some point I may just move abroad and farm elsewhere or even just do another job entirely. But there's this innate fear of disappointing people, in my head, ik my parents would be really disappointed in me if I didn't take over the farm or the business, but if its not what I want then I shouldn't be doing it. You have to want something to truly give it your all.
If you need a change for your mental health and they have issues with that then that's their problem, not yours.
It is hard for many of us to give up the farming life completely though....
