You can't control or avoid bad weather. It represents a stressor which farmers have had to accept as an occupational hazard. This doesn't mean that bad weather has to create unpleasant levels of personal stress. How you react to the stressor is up to you. Successful stress management suggests that there are numerous things you can do to anticipate and help minimize the negative impact of weather as a stressor.
Crop insurance is one of the first things which come to mind.
Keeping informed of upcoming weather conditions and planning your farming activities accordingly is another. To a certain degree, these activities can actually protect you from some of the negative effects of the stressor. Suppose that the stressor of bad weather occurs and you suffer substantial crop loss. We're certainly not suggesting that you will ever welcome a weather-related crop loss or not have regrets about the bad luck, but you can minimize the amount of stress you experience.
