I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

Yes congrats. Vic well done.
I remember enjoying this poem when you first posted it.
They certainly don't do it easy, a good friend on a property North of Warren told me through the week that a farmer out that
way had shot himself, more drought related I think but very, very sad!

Thank you Ron. Our farmers and those who work the land for their living face huge challenges and unfortunately sometimes their problems seem insurmountable. It is always very sad to hear of someone taking their own life.
