Filmed at the Holstein Christmas show and sale at Carmarthen Mart, this short video addresses the mounting pressures facing dairy farmers following recent unexpected milk price drops.
The speaker explores how financial stress in farming - whether from falling milk prices, poor lamb prices, or weather damage to silage - can strain the relationships that matter most.
Drawing on James 5:9, the message highlights how economic pressure causes farmers to "grumble against one another," directing frustration at family, partners, and neighbors rather than the circumstances themselves.
This pastoral reflection offers practical wisdom for the farming community: when times are tough, taking a moment to pause and breathe can help us turn toward each other for support instead of pushing away the very people who could help carry the load.
Topics covered:
Dairy farming challenges and milk price volatility
Mental health and wellbeing in agriculture
Community resilience in rural Wales
Biblical wisdom for modern farming pressures
Family relationships under financial stress
Support networks in the agricultural sector
