What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “Taking active steps towards our physical well being so that we can continue to work/operate our ranch.”

How I might use this $100 self-care award: “I would use the award towards going to the doctor to either check out the pain in my heel that doesn't seem to be going away or go see a hormone specialist as my hormones are definitely out of balance. I can still do my daily farm chores but the pain in my heel and/or the hormone flare ups come at the most inconvenient times and appears to persist so I need to get it checked out.”

Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: "Staying in top physical condition so as to complete daily farm activities.”
