A real trouble area will be Nebraska, Iowa, and a bit of South Dakota. They are on an adrenaline rush still, but the disaster they are facing in the farm areas is going to wear them down and tire them out for years to come, as the reality of what many of them are facing from the mass flooding they have experiemced.
I feel for that region.
Myself, I’m getting wore out/ burned out from the weather. I got gored by a bull and put in the hospital and had to have the neighbor help with harvest last fall, the grain markets went all to heck and no money in farming.
Slipped on the ice 4 days ago and pulled something in my knee, can hardly walk still. Grrrr.
None of that bothers me then or now, but I am really getting worn down by the ever lasting rains and terrible winters we are having. I’m so sick and tired of mud. Every week, every day, have to fight the ever lasting mud.
The weather just wears on me.
I’m sick of it.
I think we farmers are a tough bunch, but weather and finances can really affect us.
Another thing that weighs on me is the fellas younger than m quitting farming. Good people, smarter than me. It’s sad to see good people leaving the field.
