What would your reaction be as you watched your year's income being destroyed and there wasn't a damn thing you could do about it?

Be very careful what you wish for.
You might get it!



Cheers for schooling me mate smile One of the things I love here is that if you're wrong - people will damn well tell you about it.

I can empathize with the farmers, as usual I typed before I used my brain and was joking a little bit.

Can't imagine how horrible it'd be to lose a years pay over something totally out of your control...it'd drive me literally crazy, I'd be a paranoid wreck if I was a farmer so I can respect what they do.

No worries Christopher.
It does'nt do anyone any harm to float up your thoughts here and it earns a lot more respect when one is prepared to admit that there are many things in this world that none of us can really understand unless we personally experience them for ourselves.

And all credit to you for your ready acceptance of an explanation from an old farming geezer who is inclined to get a bit fed up with all the flak that comes a farmer's way and so gets a bit irate at times.
