SUMMARY:Learning When To Put the Work Away: Finding Balance for Veteran Farmers
DESCRIPTION:Often times it is better to hear from someone experiencing the same things\, rather than someone telling you they understand what you’re going through. 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. If you’re a farmer veteran in agriculture\, someone who works with and wants to better understand veterans\, or someone simply interested in the challenges and opportunities veterans in agriculture face today\, be sure to tune in. \nIntended audience: Veteran Farmers \nObjectives: \nUpon completion of this training\, participants will be able to: \n\nWhy veteran farmers don’t know how to shut down\nWhy we need to shut down and step away from work\nHow we can implement healthier decisions\nWhy not knowing how to shut down is a positive thing\nOther things to consider and lessons learned\n\n  \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.
