“
To be able to take care of your family and your farm, you have to also take care of you. We’re all dealing with compounding stress in agriculture, and we want people to know that you have neighbors and peers who are also managing it. As a farmer-led board, we want to help in normalizing mental well-being and finding the right information, easily.”
