Good points on family issues etc. Trouble is, when you really ARE in trouble, you do need to let your family know what is going on. I gave my family the heads up that it is a pathetic crop out there that I have, you can't hide it forever. They need to know why you are doing what you are doing. Wife knows it is a crop insurance year. It allows us to be on the same page in our planning.
If the problem is not going to really affect how you farm, how you live, I guess you can be calm and roll with it. But if the affect is such that it is going to dynamically change things, you have to be real, and keep your family in the loop to prepare them for the tough choices ahead.
I do hate what these issues do to my family, but they need to know the real deal, they need honesty.
