Small family farms have been going out of business faster than any time in recent history and even milk cooperatives that buy milk from the farms have claimed bankruptcy. At the start of 2020\, the end of the four-year milk price nightmare was starting to come to an end and producers saw the light at the end of the tunnel to start digging themselves out of. Then COVID-19 hit. This pandemic rocked the system in an unprecedented and unpredicted way. With this comes intense farm stress\, despair\, and desperation for many. Understanding how the system works – or doesn’t – is important because dairy producers work 24/7/365 to provide our families a safe and nutritious food. The very least we can give them is an attempt to understand and help them when they need it. \nIntended audience: Dairy producers\, those who work with dairy producers (i.e. nurses\, bankers\, feed salesmen\, etc.)\, and consumer \nObjectives: By the end of this presentation participants will be able to: \n\nExplain how milk gets to the store\, including the supply chains associated with the producer\, processor\, retailer\, and consumer.\nIdentify current and past market and industry stressors for dairy producers.\nDescribe the impact of this and other farm stress on a dairy producer’s livelihood and mental health.\n\n  \n This training has expired.

Listen in as Shay Foulk discusses the real challenges and opportunities he has faced as a returning farmer veteran\, and how he is learning and living ways to try to shut down. Honest\, open\, and frank\, Shay will discuss topics that may seem uncomfortable to talk about with others in the industry\, because they don’t quite understand what that transition is like in today’s environment.

Unique aspects of farm life and farming can contribute to higher levels of depressive symptoms and increased stress. Higher levels of depression\, in addition to suicide\, can also increase a farmer’s risk of injury and development of chronic disease\, impacting overall quality of life. The agrarian culture is one of strong work ethic\, self-sufficiency\, conservative views\, and adherence to gender roles\, which can make discussion of mental well-being distinctly different from clients who are not from the agrarian culture. The training module will seek to provide insight on the aspects of providing healthcare for farmers and farm families as it relates to the culture and occupational aspects of farming and farm life. \nObjectives: By the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nHave a greater understanding of the agrarian culture.\nApply key concepts of the culture when proving healthcare for farmers and farm families.\nIdentify barriers of seeking mental wellness in a rural\, agricultural community\n\n  \n This training has expired.

Being 5% healthier may not seem like much of an improvement however\, it’s still better than the alternative which is no improvement. That often times turns into a worse-case scenario. Ted will emphasize simple tools to help break the stagnant cycle and how to strengthen family bonds during times of crisis. \nRural healthcare providers and safety professionals have an important role to play in supporting people experiencing stress or mental health challenges. Come listen as Ted Matthews talks about what we can do to be proactive and prepare ahead of crisis. Ted understands the demands farmers face because he counsels farmers in a plethora of areas from crisis intervention to helping farmers relate to their families and workers to better utilize their resources.  If you’re a rural health professional looking to integrate mental health counseling in your care\, take time to listen to Ted’s experiences.  He will help you rethink your approach to providing mental health support. \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.
