Episode 142: "Dealing With Farm Stress" w/Gerry Friesen

In this episode, we chat with Gerry Friesen about “Dealing With Farm Stress.”

Farm stress is very real, especially in 2021, but did you know that ongoing stress dramatically affects our ability to make decisions and manage our farming operations?

It’s true, and on this episode, Gerry and Tracy chat about:

• The challenging year that farmers are experiencing, and how this, on top of several hard years and pandemic concerns is causing a lot of stress and mental health concerns on farming operations.
• Gerry shares the University of Guelph mental Mental Health Survey from 2016. Its findings are alarming. Gerry touches on each of the key stats and shares how.
• Gerry lists ways that stress affects our decision-making and the behaviors that often arise from the stress.
• They dive into tips on how to help our audience better cope during stressful times.
• Is your farm facing financial challenges due to challenging farming conditions? If so, you are not alone. Many farmers are in a tough position right now.
• In a very candid conversation, they discuss “what happens when it all goes south?” Where and to whom can farmers turn for mental health support and professional and business advice.
• Gerry provides numerous resources on where to turn in you are stuck.

Stressful times on the farm are very real, and knowing how to cope better will impact your mental health, physical health, and farming operation. Feeling stressed? Don’t miss this episode.

Harvesting Equipment ~75 YEARS of JOHN DEERE COMBINES~

John Deere combines have many things in common, but each combine was designed for specific needs. Do any of these apply to you? You’re a fleet owner and want to reduce your fleet; your fields or harvest conditions require you to harvest high-moisture corn or tough-threshing small grains; you are running a fully optimized combine today and you need to get more done in a day; or you would also need to upgrade your header to get more capacity. Consider these factors and contact your dealer to determine the best option.
