What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I am faced with is the limited size of farm land.
The only piece that is available for me to farm is too small to accommodate my plans.
This forces me to hire which is very expensive at my level.
I have to sell part of the harvest in order to raise money for hire.
This usually leaves me with very little food in the house and food shortage in the and.
I can not save anything.
