For some farmers, especially those now confined to their land, it is not easy to find respite from their problems, says Mr Pooley. You can't help but take your work home with you. It's your farm, all your life is there. Your business is tied to your house and tied to your family. It's in your face all the time.
Farmers are 'high control' people, they like to make their own decisions.
This outbreak has seen some lose that control as the government has begun telling them what to do on their farms. It's not enough to say the support services are there.
