PERSONAL FACTORS
Watching their livestock die caused extreme stress for many farmers and had a greater impact than financial considerations. Farmers used the following methods to cope with stress:
- Talking with neighbours/friends
- Making a start/immediate action
- Working in with others/mutual support
- Having a whisky!
