During the exams… anxiety always sprouts

After the harvest, the stage of confirmation begins. Not with celebrations, but with probes, sampling, moisture meters, and diagnostic tests. A whole year of care and effort is distilled into just a few samples and measurements.

Sampling. Probes. Moisture meters. Exams. Into battle.
And whether you’re in the field, the classroom, or the clinic… anxiety always sprouts! 🌱😅
And the more we water it with coffee, the more it grows… ☕😅

It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve done it before. No matter how many years pass, your stomach tightens just the same. Because yes, we’re almost sure. We know how much work we’ve put in. How much attention, precision, and patience.

And yet — every time feels like the first. The anxiety never leaves. Because it’s not just about your own effort. You know that out there, beyond your control, lie other forces you can’t manage:the weather, the conditions, the unpredictable factors that can make — or break — everything.

So waiting becomes part of the process. An inseparable piece of agricultural — and professional — experience.

After a year of effort and care, you expect the tests to confirm what you already believe: that you did well.
And as the results draw near, you feel like a student waiting to see if they passed.

But when the positive results come — because deep down, you know you did things right — the anxiety vanishes instantly. Every good result is a quiet, inner confirmation that it was all worth it.

And what’s left is just relief, a smile, and the certainty that… yes, all that effort paid off.

Until the next harvest. 😄☕🌾
