[QUOTE="itsalwaysme, post: 6333982, member: 7553"] I think there are a lot of people in similar situations working all hours just to make a living etc etc, some will admit it, others bury their heads in the sand, some just ignore big losses, hoping things improve next year. It's not just the farming industry it affects, many small businesses just "make a living" all it takes is an illness or something and things can get very difficult. I've been running my own business/self employed or one man band most of my working life, but when I look at two of my mates, who both choose the route of employee, both have well paid jobs with pensions sick pay etc etc. I often think did I choose the right path (the choice was partly due to tractors, being in the outdoors etc, but that alone doesn't pay the bills) You are far from alone.
