FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL

IT’S NO SECRET THAT WORKING IN THE AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY IS ACCOMPANIED BY MANAGING A LOAD OF STRESSES ON A DAILY BASIS.

So how do you manage that stress?

We asked a few farmers how they manage their stress, and one of the most common tips they gave us was to focus on what you can control.

When you’re feeling really stressed out, it may help to make a mental list of things you can control.

Things that aren't on this list are weather conditions, changes in the foreign markets or stock market fluctuations.

When you take a step back and look at this list, you’ll likely realize that you have much more control than you thought.
