[QUOTE="Cab-over Pete, post: 8034615, member: 416"] I wish I had spent more time studying beaver……… I still think there is a certain pride taken in the job on most farms, but that’s different to feeling an obligation to feed someone else. I think farmers farm because that’s what they do come hell or high water, right? I mean, you have to actually love cows to be a dairy farmer, don’t you? And to get up at midnight with rain lashing the windows to lamb a ewe? It’s madness really. But again, that’s not an obligation to the masses, more an obligation to care for the animals we choose to own. Then there’s the previous generations. Do we want to give up all they’ve worked for. I know I don’t and all I have is some depreciating machinery, none of which was owned by Dad when he died. I just feel he did all the hard work so who am I to give up because it gets a bit tricky? The nation happens to be your customer, but if another nation said they would pay twice as much for your product then I’m sure you would choose them. I know I would. So it’s no matter really. It’s just how it is. Crack on. [/QUOTE]
