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!
Cover Crops have taken off over the last 5, 10, 15 years but there are still many questions about the economic benefits of the crop.

Weather remains an issue not only for farmers trying to get #plant19 wrapped up, but also to get old crops moved, inputs delivered, and more! Mike Steenhoek of the Soy Transportation Coalition shares today some of those long term implications agriculture is and will continue to face in today's episode.
It's #TechTuesday and we're circling back with a company we have been watching for several years: SmartAg; the folks making tractors autonomous. For today's conversation, we're chatting with Tim Norris, their Eastern Region Business Director about what they've learned by working out in the fields with farmers and their demos.We've also got news coming from China, Canada, and, of course, Washington, D.C.
