If you live in the South Westman area, this probably comes as little surprise. So many factors in the farming occupation are outside the realm of one's control. Farm families today are plagued with concerns over finances and how to meet the challenges in their lives every day. Sometimes the pressure seems overwhelming without an end in sight.

Stress is a normal part of life and all situations, both positive and negative.
Situations that require adjustment are stressful. We each respond differently to stress depending on our perception of it. Successful management of one's stress comes out of practice and looking at what your perception is of the event causing the stress. Admit that stress is having an effect on you. No one will ever be stress free.
