Doug farms next door to a salt mine, that says enough about the difficulties of trying to produce quality lamb and beef. Doug went through some brutal droughts which was a factor in his mental health taking a dive. He has since changed his farm system and lifestyle to help out his top 2 inches. Doug is now a well known advocate for Men's and Rural Mental Health. He authored a book that can be found on many farmers nightstand 'The Resilient Farmer'. His farm also uses both FarmIQ and FARMAX.

In this episode, Doug lets his vulnerability show on some touchy subjects (just a heads up).
