In this episode of Rural Realities, Part 4 of our special series for Mental Health Month, host Karen Endres of the Wisconsin Farm Center shares how a simple daily gratitude practice can help farmers stay positive through the ups and downs of agriculture. Life on the farm isn’t easy but taking a few minutes each day to focus on what’s going right can build resilience, patience, and strength. Tune in and learn how small shifts in perspective can make a big difference on the farm and at home.
