Young farmers face unique challenges—from financial stress and market uncertainty to the pressure of carrying on a family legacy.

In this episode of the Next Gen Podcast, southeast Nebraska farmer Lukas Fricke joins Kellan Heavican and Erin Anderson for an honest conversation about mental health in agriculture, navigating grief and farm transition, social media pressures, and why it's more important than ever for producers to talk openly about their struggles.

Lukas shares his family's experience with succession planning, the loss of his father, and how today's generation is approaching mental health differently than those before them.
