[QUOTE="Katarina, post: 6514498, member: 109252"] It goes without saying here's a high level of emotional stress and worry in farming, for the most part based around the uncertainty of finances. Not knowing the value your stock holds from week to week or, in the current climate, when next you'll be forced to defend yourself or the profession against moral or environmental blame. This is before brexit is added into the equation. Farming, as we all know, a way of life, with UPS and downs. A rollercoaster ride of emotions bringing us to the depths at times but very rewarding at others and we are fortunate to work closely with nature amongst some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. It's so very hard at the moment but we all need to try to focus daily on the positive things that we do on our farms and take pride in who we are and what we achieve against the odds. But it has to be said that unfortunately we farmers never seem able to speak with one voice, aways having strong opinions with very differing views. Hopefully when this mess is finally sorted we can start to move on but as is written on theWelsh football team shirt " together stronger ". They say that a problem shared is a problem halved. It's always good for us to talk and moan and share our troubles but laughter is the best medicine, and you've got to have a sense of humour to even consider a career in farming. [/QUOTE]
