“I love the fact I’m working with my hands and producing something, but you’ve got to be mentally fit to survive it… Rural [Australia] is slowly dying, communities are getting smaller, support is getting less. But every day the sun comes up. You just get back into it and do it.”
– David Jochinke, President Victorian Farmers Federation
