Agriculture Roundup for Thursday January 28, 2021
MELFORT, Sask. – It’s Bell Let’s Talk Day.
The federal agriculture minister is encouraging the agriculture sector to speak up about mental health.
Marie-Claude Bibeau said in recent months many people have experienced psychological distress.
“Farming is seven days a week. Farmers are often isolated, and they are used to taking a lot on their shoulders,” Bibeau said. “In this time of crisis, we need to support each other more than ever before, while remembering to take care of ourselves first.”
