Mental Health Awareness Month was last month and UFA is shining a light on the timely topic, as it relates to agriculture. Farmers today are facing unprecedented stressors, economic uncertainty from trade and tariff disputes, along with political uncertainty and the unpredictability of Mother Nature. Supporting growers and producers talking about rural mental health is more important than ever.
In the newest episode of Digging In with UFA, host, Don Shafer, is joined by two influential voices in the Canadian agriculture industry:
- Lesley Kelly, founder of Do More Ag and the voice behind High Heels and Canola Fields, who has been a tireless advocate for mental health in farming families.
- Shaun Haney, creator and host of Real Ag Radio, who brings a unique perspective on the pressures facing producers today.
This episode explores the real challenges—and the real hope—within our rural communities.
