Why more young producers are speaking up about mental health | Next Gen Podcast
Farming and ranching come with pressure that most people never see.
In this episode of Brownfield's Next Gen Podcast, Kellan Heavican and Erin Anderson sit down with Carol Anderson of Rural Minds to discuss mental health, stress, and resilience among young and beginning farmers and ranchers.
They explore:
• Why younger producers face unique mental health challenges
• The pressure of building a legacy while managing uncertainty
• How social media can both help and hurt mental wellness
• The importance of mentors, peer networks, and trusted advisors
• Why asking for help is a sign of strength—not weakness
• Resources available through Rural Minds and other organizations
