No one can be expected to understand what others may go through or be an expert on everything. What is really annoying is so many think they are smarter than the ranchers and have no clue. I have never thought I was an expert on things I know nothing about so not sure why many others do. I would not dream of telling posters here what they should or could do with their business in case of a disaster- yet they for some reason feel qualified to judge ranchers as if they know better when most know nothing at all about ranching.
When I married and our business catered entirely to the farmer I couldn't understand why so often it was necessary I “Hold dinner”...or all the “waiting” that happened when I planned outings etc. I had to learn that our life was wrapped up into that of our farmers schedule as well.
If their machinery broke down...that had a priority. Running a farm equipment business you never had regular business hours. You opened when they called and took care of their need as they needed it.
Ignore those who make judgments......all should be grateful for our farmers. Like it or not we don't eat without them.
