I agree , just dont tell me when im on the cusp of calving and lambing some folk dont get the fact stock needs attention everyday.2012 was ‘the year from hell’ in this area, it just peed it down from April to the following May, with a merciful break in August for harvest.
When the combine broke in October, and when it was too pee wet through to do anything, Mrs PSQ dragged me away for a few days to London, and it saved my sanity. 4 days away from the farm and its problems and I felt completely refreshed. Finished harvest on bonfire night (first and last year of spring beans) and mauled some late wheat in that would have been saved by a half decent spring, which turned out to be atrocious.
Point being, if it’s getting you down and there’s nothing doing in the forecast, pull the pin and get away. Go somewhere nice for a break, build yourself up for a few days, and recharge the batteries. Staying put just to stare at the wet ground and the long term forecast for another week won’t change a thing.
