I wonder if a farmer feels motivated each morning on the 120 days of work before harvest?
"The farmer has to be an optimist or he wouldn’t still be a farmer. " ~ Will Rogers
My grandfather was a farmer, my Mother’s Father, I always admired him.  They, he and my Grandmother, stopped farming when he turned fifty and  moved into the city. The work just began to take it’s toll on his body,  all the physical labor.
Motivation had finally run out, but he did not stop working, instead went down to the Farm City Supply store and shared his decades of knowledge with those still toiling.
Farming  is really unique as a way of earning a living, think about it. In  Agriculture one must do much work before there is any payoff.
Plowing,  fertilizing, seeding, watering, insect fighting, harvesting and finally  transporting to market. This adds up to a bunch of days where one may  not feel like getting out there.
