Just over one month. More than 3,500 miles. More than 30 people in the Buddy Seat. And we’re just getting started.
The Year of One Million Thanks Buddy Seat Tour is officially on the road, bringing people together across farm country for conversations about what it will take to keep agriculture strong.
We’ve hosted roundtables, made thousands of dollars in impact donations and heard ideas and perspectives on some of the biggest issues shaping agriculture, from farmer mental health and policy to innovation, the next generation and what farmers need to build strong businesses for the future.
Over the next year, hundreds more people will take a seat and add their voices to the conversation.
Here’s your first look at the Buddy Seat Tour in action.
One of the most important conversations we've been having is about farmer mental health and suicide prevention. If you’re concerned about someone, you don’t have to be an expert to help them find support.
