Poor harvest results could result in becoming behind on house payments to the bank, which could create an intense amount of stress for farming families. In Lara Campbell’s book, “Respectable Citizens” she states on page 124: “Eviction was not just an urban phenomenon. When farmers were faced with foreclosure, their families faced the potential loss of their home and also of their livelihood.” Becoming behind on house payments had the potential to impact where a farming family could live as well as how they could earn a living, which was an extremely stressful position to be in. Campbell states on page 122 of her book, “The fear of losing one’s home was powerful, causing chronic worry, sleepless nights, and feelings of desperation.” These circumstances would make it more difficult to be proficient in the tasks needed to be successful on family farm operations.
