I am a dedicated advocate for mental health awareness within the farming community. I believe it is important to recognize that farming is not only physical work but mental as well. I strive to create an open dialogue about these issues and provide resources and tools to strengthen our farmers' resilience. In an effort to combat stigma, to assist in raising awareness and to provide access to resources for farmers, the 2022 Bourbon County Farmer Appreciation event was born. In cooperation with Farm Bureau, this event is in its first year saw well over 500 farmers and their families. The one-day event features booths, an appreciation meal, a short welcome program and door prize giveaways. We continued the event in July of 2023 with just as much success as the inaugural year.
