When you farm, you don’t
just work on a farm — you are a
farmer. And, when you’re
a farmer, that’s who you are. If you are like most
people who farm, you will do whatever it takes to be on
the farm.
That’s just the way
you are.
But when you’re a farmer, there
are so many things that are beyond your control –
weather, diseases, policy, prices. It’s easy to
start to believe that you have to take everything just
as it comes.
This
is a trap. Never forget that you do have
control of some things – if you choose to take
it. Of course, like all things worthwhile having, this
is not easy.
That’s where FarmChoices can help.
FarmChoices is about taking control... about knowing
yourself... about planning for what you can and dealing
with everything else. FarmChoices is your partner. It's
absolutely FREE and designed specifically for Canadian
farm families and workers.
