With the strong #BlackLivesMatter and #IndigenousLivesMatter movements, I thought I'd help by addressing some of the popularized misconceptions around Indigenous people and prairie farming. We know that serious systemic racism exists, and it exists strongly in ag communities.

On the last field of canola. That Thanksgiving rain was a good thing, though it’s always hard on the crew when the combines are stopped. Just some oats and barley to rip through for feed, and a bit of field cleanup. #harvest26 #farming

Perhaps an odd post, but I’m re-reading a manuscript my Dad wrote. In it he recounts a morning spent visiting a bachelor farmer neighbor. It’s melancholy, but carries a touch of insight.

"My farm is successful. By all measures, I should be fine. But I'm not fine. I'm struggling with my mental health. Why?"
That question, asked by a farmer at an agricultural show, opened a conversation that Do More Agriculture Foundation Executive Director Merle Massie has thought about ever since.
In her latest blog post, Merle explores what it means to struggle when everything on the outside looks fine, and why reaching out for support is never evidence of failure.
