Today it's a Fri-yay episode and we celebrate something that is not usually heralded by folks in the mainstream: Mental Illness. So many people around the world and, also, in agriculture, deal with mental illness that we felt it was certainly worthwhile to have a conversation on the podcast. Now, this conversation was spurred by the Women Land and Legacy conference in Brooklyn Iowa that focused on Stress on the farm and how to deal with it, but we were able to catch up with keynote speaker Lesley Kelly and talk about her work in bringing mental health in to the mainstream in Canadian Agriculture and what we could do here in the US.
Plus, the usual roundup of news from around the world and around the country as it relates to agriculture!
