but,guys ,dont you know crop insurance is one of those dreaded gov handouts? LOL.Seriously though,its tough to see things burn up,especialy since you worked so hard.But its a fact of life in this buisness,every year its a gamble.Actually I think youve got better chances in vegas.At least there you have the option of folding.Farming your pretty much all in every hand. How i deal with the stress,is by doing all i can this year to prepare for next. Maybe look for a more drought resistant crop or more drought resistant strain of your chosen crop.research ways to hold what little moisture you do get in the subsoil. look for better ways to plant etc. not much you can do about the weather,youve got to live with it, but you can look on the bright side,its not too wet,or cold.Your not fighting hail,wind storms, lightning,or a dozen other things youll have to stress about next year!

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”.
