Running a farm is difficult and exhausting, but is worth it in the end because it "gives so much more than it takes," writes North Carolina farmer Meredith Bernard for DTN/The Progressive Farmer. 

"To love a farm is not for the faint of heart, though some days it takes all we've got to keep our hearts strong, minds focused and feet moving. It's the hard days of farming that make the good days all the more worth it," she writes. "To love a farm is to push past fears, embrace change for the promise change can bring and learn from the mistakes of yesterday to make tomorrow better."
