A Kansas farmer who has learned to deal with stress says when it’s time for the planters to roll, don’t stay in the tractor too long.
Lowell Neitzel raises corn and soybeans with his wife and her father and brothers near Lawrence, Kansas, west of Kansas City. He says, “Your mind gets numb and you’ve got to get out, and it’s okay to reset yourself.”
He tells Brownfield farmers often put themselves in danger or make too many mental mistakes if they keep going when tired.
