Farmers have a plethora of support available at their fingertips - from apps to websites.
But a very important national phone line has been launched to help farmers with their 
mental health. The Canadian Centre for Agricultural Well-being (CCAW) announced the launch of the National Farmer Wellness Network Crisis Line, an initiative designed to help farmers, farm families, and agricultural workers address the unique mental health challenges they face related to their operation.

It's being funded by Farm Credit Canada's $1.5-million investment over three years to 
cover costs associated with running a national phone line. Chief Executive Officer of CCAW Briana Hagen says work on the national line started when the organization was established in 2022.

Saskatchewan is known around the world for haskap---and the man largely responsible 
will be inducted into the Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame this spring.

For many years, Dr. Bob Bors was the head of the Fruit Program in the University of 
Saskatchewan’s Plant Sciences Department. He retired last year. He introduced nine sour cherries . . . but is best known for the 10 haskap varieties which are grown by home gardeners and commercial fruit producers across Canada, the United States and Europe.
