Optimism in the face of drought

Nullawil is a tiny wheat-growing town halfway between Hopetoun where we lived for six years and my hometown Swan Hill. The drought has been on-going for years and most farmers are not going to strip the harvest at all this year. But as Ron Pollington said, 'I say if you're getting three feeds a day and half a bed at night and the bank manager is not at your door and if you've got your health, you're doing all right.' How's that for optimism.
