Resilient Farms & Families
Resilient Farms & Families was created in response to the current state of the agricultural economy, serving as an avenue to brand events, programs, and materials that foster resiliency by connecting the agricultural community with education and resources to thrive in an ever changing world. Resources are aimed at improving the mental, physical, emotional and financial well-being of not only on-farm producers, but also their employees as well as the agri-business community which serves these producers.
