The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection’s (DATCP) Farm Center has kicked off the second season of its “Rural Realities” podcast.
The first episode features Amanda Harguth, AgrAbility of Wisconsin outreach specialist, who will discuss how AgrAbility can help farmers with disabilities continue farming. The second season will focus on reducing the stigma surrounding mental health in rural communities, providing information and resources on stress management, and helping farmers sustain healthy businesses. The pre-recorded podcasts run between 20-30 minutes and feature a different expert in each episode. Podcasts are produced by Bill Baker, who also hosts the syndicated radio program, Dairy Radio Now.
