I've worked most types of farming.
I certainly know veg growers who have suffered from frost bite in the harder winters of the past. I myself ended up in quite a state doing a 36 hour shift harvesting Xmas sprouts, including 14 hours of a damp frost working in the dark.
On the other hand vegetables don't attack the growers. If stock are dying of hypothermia or starvation, may be time to plant trees.
We really as farmers should not be critical of each other & if we think the grass is greener. Well sell up & buy a different type of farm
Certainly can’t be much fun being a carrot grower right now
Fields saturated for months, supermarkets demanding them in the shop. Landowner not wanting you anywhere near his field in these conditions.
Have seen some real sorry sights in the past few weeks.
