In recognition of May being Mental Health Awareness Month, we wanted to produce a Deep Dive episode dedicated to the impact of mental health challenges on the farm while sharing resources available to help anyone who may be struggling. We invited Brandon Wolfe, clinical therapist and cattle rancher, to join the podcast to talk about the unique issues farmers face. Brandon gives us a step-by-step look at the process of finding help to fit your needs. In true AgCast style, we have some fun along the way, and you know we covered the subject of food, too. Give this special episode a listen or share it with someone who may appreciate Brandon’s unique perspective. Connect with Brandon here: https://alleviant.com/brandon-wolfe/
