Back for Part 2 of our chat with Michael DeSa of the Vets in Ag Podcast. I want to begin with an apology for the abrupt ending of last week's episode. Breaking one interview into multiple episodes is a new thing for me and editing is a learning curve. I should've ended with some explanation. I appreciate the continued support of this podcast and appreciate the grace given as I continue to learn how to best produce a podcast. We conclude our conversation with Michael by him talking to me about my podcast. How it started and how it has been a form of therapy for me. We then talk about how agriculture is a form of therapy to those who return from service. Please go follow and subscribe to Mike's podcast.

Today I speak with Shelbie Powell and Brittney Schrick about the Southwest Ag Center. The Southwest Center for Agricultural Health, Injury Prevention and Education (Southwest Ag Center or SW Ag Center) was created in late 1995 at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler to serve Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas as part of a program initiative of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). The initiative established a network of centers, funded on a competitive basis, to conduct programs of research, prevention, intervention, education and outreach designed to reduce occupational injuries and diseases among agricultural workers and their families. We talk today about how mental health is being worked in to these initiatives on health and safety.
