TransFARMation podcast series is free and available to the public

A podcast series launches in 2019 due to the high levels of farm stress in rural America. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture and Red River Farm Network collaborated to create a podcast for Minnesota’s farmers and ranches to hear the stories of others going through similar scenarios as well as Rural Mental Health’s Specialists. This podcast, called TransFARMation, features farmers, ranchers, ag lenders, agriculturalists and other local people in the agriculture community. The goal of TransFARMation is to increase awareness of rural mental health and highlight some of the many resources available to the public. The podcast can be found on your phone’s podcast app or on the Red River Farm Network’s website, https://www.rrfn.com/transfarmation/
