What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “Self-care means taking better care of my physical body and mind so that I am healthy for myself and the community I serve. It means being able to afford to take myself to a physical therapist or receiving body work so that I can further heal or correct injuries that have happened.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: “I plan to get body work to work out pains I’ve built up after a long planting season.”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: “Getting health insurance for producers so we may better take care of ourselves physically and mentally.”
