Crossing the line between farming and gambling
Val Farmer explains how farming blends risk and investment with emotion and lifestyle. He outlines signs a farmer becomes a gambler, from overoptimistic projections and high debt to chasing losses, expanding operations, and neglecting family welfare. He cites cases from Kelvin and Jewel Mazur’s Manitoba trip and notes resources for rural mental health.
