The Farmer Health community
This is a free service for farmers, and people interested in farming, so sign up and join the Farmer Health online community.
You will be able to talk to other farmers who understand your work, lifestyle and its highs and lows. Share farming stories and tips about what has worked for you and what hasn’t! How do you stay fit? What has helped you get through the hard times? How good are the good times? What was it like being a farmer in the past? How has your landscape changed? Share your stories and learn from other farmers.
