Episode Description:
Most farmers enjoyed a good harvest and are experiencing decent markets. However, the high cost of crop inputs has cut into the margins on the farm. In addition to financial challenges, farmers and ranchers face unique stressors. In the latest TransFARMation podcast, Becky Kopp Dunham discusses the dynamics facing agriculture today. Kopp Dunham is a therapist with a special focus on issues relating to farm stress. “There are just so many moving parts to a farming and ranching operation. There are a variety of things that impact them financially that are outside of a farmer’s control and that’s what makes it so difficult.” Thanks to the North Dakota Department of Agriculture for your support for this episode.
