Don't Stress Out

Author: Tyler Miller

Planning Unit: Lincoln County CES

Major Program: Active Living and Health Promotions General

Plan of Work: Health, Wellness & Safety 2020-24

Outcome: Initial Outcome

I was approached by our Farm Bureau women’s committee about partnering with each other to put on a meeting about farm stress. I thought it was a wonderful idea, so we began to piece together the puzzle. It took several tries to get a qualified speaker, but boy did we get a good one. We held the meeting at the Lincoln County Extension office and served a nice meal. There were almost 40 people in attendance and there was a farm field day happening the same evening in the county. Once the steak dinner and cheesecake meal was served, Dr. Kristie Guffey from Murray State University and Natalie Gupton from AgSafe presented. They had a wonderful presentation and did a fantastic job with their delivery. They provided handouts for the participants to take home. They talked about how farm stress is real and affects all of us. They made you feel very comforting that it’s okay to be stressed and taught us how to deal with the stress in our lives. After the meeting many of our participants talked about how much they enjoyed the meeting. I take that as a win!
