BEDFORD, Iowa (RFD News) — Farm Dog is providing Iowa farmers and their families with free access to mental health support.
Advisory Board Member Aimee Bissell joined us on Wednesday’s Market Day Report to discuss the program, which connects farmers with trained professionals who have ties to agriculture.
In her conversation with RFD News, Bissell said farmers can receive up to eight free sessions. The program is currently available in Iowa, with plans to eventually expand nationwide.
