As we wrap up May, we're closing out our Mental Health Series and celebrating May as National Beef Month with a lively, informative episode featuring one of our favorite guests, Dr. Phil Bass.

Dr. Bass, meat scientist and professor at the University of Idaho, joins us to talk all things beef, from how carcasses have grown significantly over the last 20 years to the cutting-edge ways the industry is optimizing energy use, improving efficiency, and rethinking carcass utilization. We cover how packing plants are adapting to today’s realities, how beef on dairy has impacted the supply chain, and even the emergence of “ancestral blends” in retail products.

We also dive into the biology of cattle, the potential limits of carcass size, and what research is showing about cardiopulmonary challenges in high-growth animals. It’s a fun, fast-paced, science-meets-agriculture conversation full of humor, insight, and practical knowledge.

This week, we welcome a familiar voice behind the scenes—Erik Blaser. His wife Megan was a guest in last year’s mental health series, and now it’s Erik’s turn to join us. As a fourth-generation dairy farmer, Erik has lived the demanding, often all-consuming life that many in ag know too well. But in this conversation, he opens up about how quietly losing himself, grappling with addiction, and walking away from his family’s farm became the catalyst for a deeply personal journey of healing.

Erik speaks candidly about his mental health challenges, the transformation he found through counseling, and how he’s learned to rewire his thought patterns, build emotional awareness, and find joy in more than just his work. We talk about the stigma men in agriculture face when it comes to being vulnerable—and how owning your story and seeking support can change your entire life.

Whether you’ve faced your own dark season, know someone who has, or just need to hear from someone who’s walked through it and come out stronger, this episode will speak to you.

This week, we’re joined by Terryn Drieling—formerly known for her platform Faith Family and Beef—who has rebranded and refocused her work around mental health in rural America. Terryn brings her lived experience, raw honesty, and powerful insight to this conversation, sharing how her journey with grief, emotional suppression, breast cancer, and personal healing led her to the principle that “good movement draws good movement.”

Together, we talk about the cultural barriers in agriculture that keep people from addressing their mental and emotional health—especially the deeply rooted idea that showing emotion is a sign of weakness. Terryn opens up about how doing the inner work has not only changed her life and relationships, but also how it’s inspired her to disrupt the status quo and lead others, especially rural women, into deeper healing and connection.

This conversation is full of truth, courage, and hope. If you’ve ever felt stuck in survival mode or wondered how to help someone you love without “fixing” them, this episode is for you.

    This week, we’re doing something different. It’s just us—Val and Katharine—opening up about our personal warning signs when our mental health is slipping. We talk candidly about the quiet red flags we’ve come to recognize in ourselves: things like mindless scrolling, emotional eating, avoiding our loved ones, or suddenly not wanting to do something we usually enjoy.

    We explore the tools and strategies that help us course correct—movement, fresh air, connection, and sometimes professional help like therapy or medication. And we talk openly about the stigma that still lingers around those options, especially in rural communities.

    If you’ve ever found yourself overwhelmed, burned out, or just “off” and unsure why, we hope this conversation feels like a breath of fresh air and a reminder that you are not alone.

Each year, we dedicate the month of May to honest, heartfelt conversations about mental health in agriculture.

    We’re welcoming back a recurring guest, Dr. Nora Feldpausch, for what might be her fourth appearance (but who’s counting?). Nora is a psychiatrist with deep ties to agriculture and she brings her unique blend of medical expertise and lived experience to help listeners navigate the often invisible pressures of rural life.

    In today’s episode, we dive into the mental health landscape in agriculture today—from the weight of constant uncertainty, to the emotional toll of always being "on," to why it's so easy to feel like you’re the only one struggling. With humor, grace, and zero judgment, we unpack real-life challenges and offer tangible tools and resources (listed below) to help ground, recharge, and reconnect.

    This episode is packed with hard truths, hopeful takeaways, and more than a few laughs. Whether you’re feeding cows, planting fields, or just trying to make it through the day—this one’s for you.

It’s mud. It’s snow. And that means calving in the beef industry is upon us. This week, Valene gives us a glimpse of calving season and its realities on her ranch. 

    As always at Millennial Ag, this peek into Valene’s life right now is real and raw. She talks about the challenges, excitement, chaos, heartbreak, and hope that this time of year brings to ranchers, and how to maintain a sense of self and humor throughout. 

    A Type A engineer and planner, Valene starts us off with the jolt of this year's unexpected early start of babies arriving (thanks, Steven!) to her honest opinions on why, believe it or not, it’s better for calves to be born in the snow than in mud. She talks about how critical it is to make sure each calf gets a strong start, what predators and pests have been around lately, and how she is taking care of herself during this season. 

    Tune into this episode for a little humor, hope, and a whole lot of grace from one of the beef industry’s best!

The political landscape—whether you agree with it or not—has demonstrated an unprecedented ability to pivot, adapt, and evolve at lightning speed. Meanwhile, agriculture, often rooted in tradition and cautious change, is grappling with the pressure to address a rapidly changing policy, production, and operating landscape in an era of fast-moving trends, policies, and consumer demands.

    Katharine and Valene pose a critical question: How can agriculture adopt the same agility and responsiveness without losing its core values and integrity? They discuss the importance of balancing innovation with sustainability, embracing technological advancements, and finding ways to navigate political and societal shifts while maintaining strong connections to the land and people.

    Join the conversation as the duo unpacks how agriculture can keep up in a world that refuses to slow down.

    In this eye-opening episode of Millennial Ag Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Barb Petersen, DVM, one of the pioneering veterinarians who first identified bird flu in dairy cows in Texas back in March 2024. Since that discovery, the virus has continued to spread, mutate, and raise serious concerns for both animal and human health.

    Barb provides an essential update on where the virus has spread geographically, how it has evolved, and what might come next as it jumps between species. She warns that cats are the canary in the coal mine—a chilling sign that bird flu could be on the brink of becoming the next major agricultural and potentially human health crisis.

    Beyond the science, Barb discusses the sluggish response from U.S. health agencies and the USDA. With critical gaps in government action, she argues that we need to stop talking about "eradication" and start preparing for the reality of an endemic disease—one that could reshape the dairy industry and beyond.

    Tune in for a candid, no-nonsense discussion on what this virus means for agriculture, public health, and the future of food production. Will we learn from this "trial run," or are we sleepwalking into the next pandemic?

    Mike, a soft-spoken yet profoundly wise dairyman, and Donna, his steadfast partner, take us back to one of the darkest times in their lives and the UK dairy industry: the devastating foot and mouth disease outbreak in 2000. With raw emotion and breathtaking honesty, they recount the heartbreak of seeing their farm brought to its knees, and how they found the strength to rebuild.

    “We took chances,” Mike says—a simple yet powerful statement that encapsulates their courage to pivot and innovate in the face of despair. Their story isn’t just about survival; it’s about transformation, adaptability, and the deep-rooted pride they carry for their heritage.

    Donna’s unwavering support shines through as she helps Mike tell their story, highlighting their shared belief in the future of their farm. The Bowes’ humility is matched only by their excitement for the next generation, as they prepare to pass the reins to their children and grandchildren.

    This episode is a moving exploration of the highs and lows of dairy farming, the love of their land and industry, and the legacy of family. Tune in to hear how Mike and Donna turned devastation into opportunity, and why their story resonates far beyond the borders of England.

    We welcome back Valene's dad, Bill Lickley this week. A former ag banker, Bill takes us through the usual necessary financial steps to wrap up a year well. All solid and timely advice, but we especially appreciate how he takes the first approach to the work. 

    Begin with gratitude. Look back on your year and celebrate the highs, and reflect on the lows, and be sure to take a moment to be grateful to be able to be a part of an industry, job, community that you (hopefully) love. As Bill reminds us, it's all too easy to dwell on the hard times, the things that went wrong, or the things you wanted to happen that didn't, so be sure to pause for a moment, and remember all the wins, highs, and good that happened too. 

    We also especially love the second half of the episode. As Bill finishes walking us through the financial end-of-year planning aspects, he turns to end-of-year personal planning. His advice is the same: begin with gratitude. Then, start planning where you want to be this time next year. What are your individual and family goals? Go beyond finances, and consider what do you want to do for fun in the coming year? What milestones do you want to hit? Consider all that, and then start making a plan to get there. Like Bill says, it's much easier to get to where you want to be if you have a solid idea of where you're coming from. 

    This is an easy episode to listen to, and an easy one to take so many good points away from and put into practice without too much hassle. Enjoy it with a glass in one hand, and your notebook and pen in the other.

    Beef packers are announcing big layoffs over the next two to three months, and it's got Val wondering if the incoming administration's stance on immigration is the cause. She discusses some of the nuances that these announcements are making clear, and how it could impact the markets and industry overall in the coming year. This is a great episode to chew on over the coming weeks, as we prepare for the end of the year and what excitement early 2025 is going to bring to agriculture.

Gov. Scott BedkeEpisode 184 - We Don't Fall to the Top of Mountains: Finalizing the Idaho Water Deal with Lt. Gov. Scott BedkeIn this episode, we’re joined by Lt. Governor Scott Bedke to explore the story behind Idaho’s groundbreaking water agreement.

    This historic deal brought together senior and junior water users, two groups with conflicting interests, to address one of the most pressing challenges facing the state. The journey was far from straightforward. Senior water users stood firm in their rights, while junior users—critical to Idaho’s economy—were seen as “too big to fail.”

    Yet, through long days, hard conversations, and a shared commitment to Idaho’s future, a middle ground was found. Lt. Governor Bedke highlights how Idaho’s farmers played a pivotal role in the process. Recognizing the stakes, they united with a common goal: to preserve and protect Idaho’s water resources for generations to come.

     Collaboration, compromise, and a willingness to roll up their sleeves defined the process, proving that even the toughest challenges can be solved when people work toward a shared purpose. This episode is a testament to the power of community, leadership, and vision in safeguarding the lifeblood of Idaho’s agriculture and rural communities.

    Don’t miss this inspiring conversation about water stewardship, perseverance, and the lessons learned along the way.

We're delighted to welcome back Tanner Beymer, Executive Director of Government Affairs at the National Cattlemen's Association. Tanner joins us anytime there's a ballot in sniffing distance, and he doesn't disappoint in this episode. In fact, he more than delivers. He gives us an exellent overview of not just the presidential race, but down-ballot races in both parties and what it all may mean in whatever the makeup of Congress may be after November 5th. He also shares with us some Hail Mary attempts by current administration regulatory agencies to shove through new rules and regs that could cause a lot of concern for agriculture in general, and producers in particular. It's a fun episode, because Tanner disregards the doom and gloom of the last two years of campaigning, and shines a light on why the world truly won't end on November 6th, no matter the outcome of the races. He shares some sage wisdom in that regard, and leaves us with a story of past agricultural efforts to protect ourselves and our industry that turned out in our favor. Finally, he shows off his auctioneering skills, which provides a welcome distraction from the next few days to come. Enjoy, and believe Tanner - the world will still be standing come next Wednesday. Lady Liberty has a lot of life and fight in her yet.

The two of us were actually able to meet up in person to record an episode about one of Katherine’s favorite subjects: what’s going on in the dairy industry. Katherine just got back from the World Dairy Expo in Wisconsin so we are diving into some of the important things that are lighting the dairy industry on fire right now.

     

    It is such an exciting time to be in the dairy industry for several reasons! From consumer trends to what heifer calves are going for to new technology, we are seeing things that we haven’t seen before in dairy. In this episode, we are diving into the changes in the market dynamics and milk prices, how cow numbers are impacting the industry, and how the current market can create opportunities for dairymen. We’re also discussing some of the new technologies that are available and what this technology could mean for dairy farmers.

DunnEpisode 180 - Danger of Denver Slaughterhouse Ban Threatening Agriculture with J.P. DunnIn today’s episode, we are discussing a critical issue the production animal agriculture industry is currently facing, the ballot initiative in Denver regarding a slaughter ban. Joining us today to share insight into what is going on with this initiative is J.P. Dunn of Protect The Harvest. Together, we are digging into what this initiative is, who is behind it, and why it is so critical that the ban does not go through. We are also discussing the difference between animal rights and animal welfare, the economic impact of the slaughter facility being targeted, how the political landscape affects agriculture and this ballot initiative, and how you can get involved to stop the ban.

    J.P. Dunn farms at the southern tip of Callaway County near Jefferson City, MO with his wife and two youngest sons. He comes from a farm equipment business background, but has worked in the commodity world and in agricultural business development.

Valene’s husband John is with us today for “Whiskey Hour.” John is a farmer and rancher and the co-owner of Midas the cow dog. Together we dive into the realities of farming in a challenging environment, particularly focusing on growing crops in the desert landscape, as well as the important role irrigation canals play into productive farmland.

    As harvest time approaches, we thought it would be the perfect time to look at some common topics regarding crops. We are discussing the various corn maturation periods, what they mean for yield potential, how farmers select which to plant, and the differences between GMO and non-GMO corn and the challenges they present. John is also sharing some insight into the highs and lows of farming and the importance of building strong relationships and community in the agricultural lifestyle.

We know that finding a supportive community to network and have important discussions with can be challenging within the dairy business as many dairy women live in rural areas. That’s why our guest, Bec Pfeffer and the Dairy Girl Network, are working to fill the evolving needs of women in the industry. Bec is sharing her experience and insight on the importance of networking for community and career advancement, how Dairy Girl Network is working to improve inclusiveness for women and young families in the industry, what you can expect to see from DGN at the World Dairy Expo, and the importance of embracing early career experiences for new corporate cowgirls. 

     

    Bec Pfeffer has always revolved her life around the ag industry. Helping on family farms, 4-H, FFA, Holstein Association… you name it. Her enthusiasm grew as she studied at the Pennsylvania State University, where she graduated with a degree in agribusiness management and a minor in international agriculture. While there, she participated in the Dairy Science Club, Alpha Zeta co-ed fraternity, THON Dance Marathon and the dairy Judging team. Through connections made at school and internships she has found opportunities to work at Cargill as a U.S. Dairy Marketing Specialist, Bader Rutter as a Senior Account Executive and then Account Supervisor for the Zoetis dairy and cattle accounts, Zinpro as their Global Content Marketing Manager, and most recently at Maola Local Dairies, owned by MDVA, as a Brand Manager.

Austin is an expert on agricultural and antitrust policy and recently published his debut book, Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America’s Food Industry. Together, we have a candid conversation and take a clear-eyed look into the lack of transparency in USDA checkoff programs, the struggle of smaller farms, the disparity in food prices, and the USDA's alignment with corporate interests over supporting small farms.

    ]]>    Today is part one of a two-part episode; we are discussing systemic issues in the agriculture industry and how robber barons are impacting the ag industry as a whole. We are joined by a very special guest, Austin Frerick, who tackles some important and little-discussed issues within the food and agriculture industry. Austin is an expert on agricultural and antitrust policy and recently published his debut book, Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America’s Food Industry. Together, we have a candid conversation and take a clear-eyed look into the lack of transparency in USDA checkoff programs, the struggle of smaller farms, the disparity in food prices, and the USDA's alignment with corporate interests over supporting small farms. 

     

    Join us next week as we continue this conversation with part 2. 

     

    Austin Frerick is an expert on agricultural and antitrust policy. He worked at the Open Markets Institute, the U.S. Department of Treasury, and the Congressional Research Service before becoming a Fellow at Yale University. He is a 7th generation Iowan and 1st generation college graduate, with degrees from Grinnell College and the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

Katharine's dad John joins the podcast for what else? Politics. Katharine and John have ongoing conversations about politics, their observations, disagreements, and how their experiences are coloring what they're thinking. Despite the fact that John wishes Katharine would have a "more honorable hobby, like truck driving" (his words), it's a shared topic of interest, and often, of mutual disgust. John gives us his thoughts on what some of the policies floated by the presidential candidates could mean for agriculture (think 100% tariffs and price controls on groceries) as well as sharing his experiences over the years and how they are coloring his current thinking on how he's going to vote. We talk a lot about ag labor, how foreign powers might retaliate or respond to huge increases on tariffs, and what we can do as individuals in our own communities to try and get the best outcomes for our shared interest in the agricultural industry. 

    Tune in for a well-informed and well-rounded guest who isn't afraid to laugh a little and consider situations and scenarios from perspectives that differ from his own, no matter if they're a little uncomfortable. 

    And Dad - we really are sorry about your grill brush.

Stuart is CEO of Peacock Technology, and one of the most passionate and forward-thinking advocates for the adoption of advanced technology to drive agriculture headlong into sustainable, long-term success. Stuart touches on all the current pain points in agriculture - scarcity and rising costs of labor, soaring input costs, the pressure from outside forces and more. Stuart believes that precision technology should return a 3:1 payback for any farm, no matter its size. He also champions the dignity of labor, making sure that employees are engaged in their work, and driving home the point that technology provides opportunities for those people to develop their skill set and reach levels of satisfaction that further guarantees an operation's success. The idea of sustainability isn't something that Stuart simply gives lip-service to. He's thought long and hard (and continues to) about how to merge technology and the human element to coalesce the need for profitability, economic success, and environmental stewardship into a sturdy foundation. You won't want to miss this episode, that provides plenty of food for thought long after the conversation ends.

Unless you've been living under a rock on Pluto, chances are you've seen at least some of the Olympics these last couple weeks. We've been impressed by the athletic accomplishments of the women competitors, but more than that, we've been completely blown away by the trails they're blazing in mental health, competing as pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, ensuring spaces for privacy with their little ones, and most of all, supporting each other despite cultural differences and competition outcomes. What women are doing in Paris for and with other women is nothing short of astounding. Cultural, racial, competitive differences are shoved to the side, not to be considered, in favor of women cheering each other on, smiling, hugging, clapping each other on the back as each wins and loses with grace. We compare this revolution of support and boundless positivity to our day to day lives in the agriculture industry. We talk about what we hope agriculture will adopt in behavior and attitudes as the Olympic torch flickers out and we resume business as usual. Focusing on the good and forging new paths for women and humanity as a whole is our hope for ourselves, and this industry we love.

It's been awhile since we've done a market update, and a lot has changed since then. Cole gives us a great overview of where the beef and dairy markets are at, as well as corn and soybeans. These tend to be the big players and the ones with the most movement most often. We also discuss how former President Trump's proposed extreme tariff policies could potentially harm American agriculture, and get a few minutes discussing what world markets are doing too. This is a really good and informative episode, right on time to get a view of how things are, and how the upcoming US presidential election could get things a little riled up. Tune in!

Governor Scott BedkeEpisode 168 - Water Fights with Idaho Lt. Governor Scott BedkeThis week, we're delighted to welcome Idaho's Lieutenant Governor, Scott Bedke. A farmer and rancher in the southwest corner of Idaho, and with his water source encompassing the three corners of Idaho, Utah, and Nevada, Lt. Governor Bedke is the water nerd we've been waiting for. We've briefly covered water issues in the western US before, but with those issues hitting closer and closer to home for us, we wanted a little closer look. Idaho has been making water news lately as senior and junior water rights have come into contention with previously-set guidelines. The lieutenant governor gives us a broad overview of the issue, and then dives into the solutions and options in place to try and get to an ending that ultimately benefits everyone. While the water issue itself is fascinating, what we really loved about this episode is Bedke's determination to find an amicable, workable, long-lasting solution for all stakeholders involved. It's not often you hear someone with such a clear-eyed view of both sides, and takes into account everyone's perspectives. It's even less often that you hear someone so positive and determined about a good outcome. This conversation is an excellent addition to our lineup, following on the heels of our Episode 150, Whiskey's for Drinkin' Water's for Fightin' from spring 2023. Tune in!

Carlos Ochoa is a first generation rancher on the southern border of Texas. Always an outdoors kid, Carlos knew from a young age that he wanted to have a hands-on, outdoor kind of career. In college, he pursued a degree in agriculture management, and from there, he became involved in all types of ag-related activity. Discovering his love of the cattle industry, he made his way into a management position on a ranch southwest of San Antonio. 

    He shares with us his path to where he is now, from learning the business from the ground up, from fence fixing to now managing the team he is now in charge of.  Stressing that his experiences have been very humbling, he gives advice on where to start as a first generation agriculturist, critical experiences to have, mentors to learn from, and day to day challenges of ranching on the border of the United States and Texas.

    This is our first deep dive into an episode with a first generation agriculturist, and you don't want to miss it.

YCC is an exclusive event, with just one young person selected from each state to partipate in the yearly 8-day experience. While Val is too modest to say so, it comes as no surpise that she was Idaho's pick to represent their beef industry this year. 

    Back recording together in the actual same geographic location for the first time in what seems like forever, Katharine and Val have a great time recounting her adventure, from the first stop in Denver to tour NCBA's headquarters (like a NASA launch room, according to Val) to tasting beef innovations and getting to know the CEO of the Australian Beef Association. Val and her comrades flew across the country, hopping from Colorado to Iowa to Washington, DC. Tune in to hear how Val benefited from this experience personally, and how events like YCC are cultivating agriculture's leaders of tomorrow.

(Dan first joined us in our January 2023 ag labor series. Take a listen if you missed it!) Dan is one-third of the dynamic trio (the other two being Katharine's mother- and father-in-law) spearheading a major effort to bring fresh and local food to Northeastern Nevada. Dan describes the Lotspeich Family Farm operation to us, some of the regulatory challenges they've been battling, and their constant search for innovative practices and events to try and boost their growth and exposure. More poignantly, Dan also talks about the tough year they've been facing, including the latest blow of a mid-June frost that wiped out nearly $25,000 of product. The exhaustion is clear in Dan's voice as he shares what happened and what that could mean for the farm the rest of the season and upcoming years. However, like most every other agriculturist out there, he rallies almost immediately and shares with us the pivots he, Dale and Leslie, and their employees started considering as they surveyed the damage the next day. 

    This episode is another close look at a unique farm, and the challenges and triumphs shared by agriculturists the world over. Tune in and turn up!

Joined by Jessica Langley, we talk about carbon credits and carbon markets and the opportunities they present for agriculture. We both have experience in helping get dairy digester projects off the ground in anticipation of those dairies being able to take advantage of carbon credits, but haven't known much about what happens after the manure hits the digester. Jessica has deep experience in what might be called the early days of creating accountability on the part of carbon credit buyers and economic feasibility on the part of carbon credit producers. We start the conversation with Jessica giving an overview of how credits can be produced by agriculture operators. We then move into some of the finer details about how credits are being assessed, accounted for, and that producers are indeed receiving promised funds for credit practices being implemented. We also have interesting discussions about the disconnect between the people making the credit guidelines and agriculture producers. As often happens in our industry, the nuances of day to day agriculture production is far different from what someone with no experience may think is the case. We ask each other a lot of questions around those challenges, and Jessica has a positive message to share at the end. Tune in!

If you haven't heard yet, you might be wondering why avian flu and dairy cows are appearing in the same sentence. Late last year and into early this year, dairy cows in Texas were presenting with strange symptoms. State and federal authorities started investigating, and a strain of bird flu was found to have jumped species into dairy cows. 

    Lots of questions have rapidly arisen from this development. Joining us this week is Idaho state veterinarian Dr. Scott Leibsle. Dr. Leibsle gives us a very in depth episode detailing what is known and not known about this latest challenge arising in the dairy industry. This is a thorough overview sharing the known facts about these cases, and what is yet to be determined. Dr. Leibsle talks about potential causes, potential vectors, and what may be next for dairy farmers now dealing with this issue. Tune in, turn up, and take a listen.

In our first few moments of recording with this week's guest, we burst out laughing. We've been having heavy and deep conversations during our mental health series this year. We finish this series with more in depth discussions with our guest, but he brings a much-needed note of levity to conclude this month's content. 

    Lowell Cerise is a farmer in Idaho, who has struggled with many mental health challenges and is here to tell us how it is, no holds barred, and to be able to laugh along the way. Lowell describes in regular terms how it can feel to deal with anxiety and depression, along with real daily tools he uses to manage those struggles. He doesn't hold back from sharing things he's tried, from meditation to alternative treatments (think magic mushrooms). This is an entertaining and very informative episode, with a guest who you'd feel so comfortable sitting down with, shooting the breeze, and talking about all things life. Tune in to our final mental health episode for 2024, and take hope and humor from it.

Sam has experienced many struggles throughout her life that have made it crucial for her to develop real tools to manage her mental wellness. 

    Listening to Sam is a real-world view into how someone manages her mental wellbeing every day. Sam doesn't spout platitudes or a "just bootstrap yourself better" message. She shares things that make it difficult for her to stay balanced, and tactics and tools on how she manages those challenges. She also talks about activities she does daily to make sure she's taking care of herself in the first place, and places and people she's turned to in her times of need. It's so encouraging to listen to how Sam has embraced not only what she struggles with, but spreading her knowledge and experience so that others might find help and healing too. 

    Sam farms alongside Katharine's inlaws at Lotspeich Family Farm in Deeth, Nevada. LFF provides Northeastern Nevada with the freshest, most delicious vegetables and herbs and beautiful fresh flowers you could ever hope to find in the high desert.

Chenele represents District 24 Seat A. Chenele is a passionate champion for rural Idaho, and has channeled her energy into many worthy causes, chief among them as an architect for the state Behavioral Health Council. The Council, a bipartisan effort that is also a private and state government effort, focuses on identifying and helping people experiencing difficulties in their behavioral health. Listen in as Chenele talks about why the council was founded, how it operates, and the hope, healing, and real change it's bringing to Idaho residents. This is a refreshing episode in terms of politicians and state government actually working together for meaninful change. It's exciting to hear what the council is doing, and the trail it's blazing as an example for other states and communities to build resources and help people.

Our favorite returning guest, Dr. Nora Feldpausch, graciously joins us again to share her many (excellent) thoughts and perspectives about mental health and agriculture. 

    Nora says that agriculture is not just a job, it's almost a religion. We found ourselves nodding our heads and we're sure that many of our listeners will too. While this is something we can be (and are!) proud of, it can also present some serious challenges when you or someone you love finds themselves in a difficult mental health situation. We discuss the importance of community, of finding the courage to ask for help, of the challenges and opportunities in rural mental health care access, and the hope that there is for everyone, no matter what you're facing, big or small. 

    As always, Nora is a wealth of knowledge and information, but more importantly, she is warm, funny, and the kind of person you want to sit down and talk for hours with. We're lucky to have her for one, and know that you will agree as you listen to this episode.

We are so excited to be back with a regular schedule for Millennial Ag, where agriculture is always on tap and no topic is off limits. We're back with a splash and are continuing our annual tradition of a series on mental health topics as our country celebrates May Mental Health Month. 

    In this week's episode, we share what we've been up to while we've been away, some of what we've got coming up with the show, and most importantly, why we're still so passionate about  mental health, and especially the conversation around it in agriculture. 

    Pour a drink, pull up, and tune in as we return to having conversations about the gray areas in agriculture and life.

We're back with a splash and are continuing our annual tradition of a series on mental health topics as our country celebrates May Mental Health Month. 

    In this week's episode, we share what we've been up to while we've been away, some of what we've got coming up with the show, and most importantly, why we're still so passionate about  mental health, and especially the conversation around it in agriculture. 

    Pour a drink, pull up, and tune in as we return to having conversations about the gray areas in agriculture and life. 

    If you or someone you know needs help with mental health challenges or substance abuse, please reach out. Here are some resources to consider:

    Lifeline Chat and Text is a service of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline connecting individuals with crisis counselors for emotional support and other services via web chat or texting 988.

    The American Psychological Association has many great resources for whatever distress you may be experiencing. Visit apa.org to find resources including:

    Crisis Text Line Text HOME to 741741

    Narcotics Anonymous Alcoholics Anonymous Gamblers Anonymous Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration National Helpline (800) 662-4357

    and many other excellent resources for all kinds of support and difficult experiences.

    Please, please reach out for help if you are hurting. You are loved, you are worthy, you are needed, you are wanted. You don’t have to do this alone.

    With love and hope, Katharine and Valene
