This week on The Farm Monitor, Ray D’Alessio takes you through some of the biggest issues impacting agriculture right now.
We begin with a troubling trend gaining momentum across the industry — increasing pressure on farmers and warning signs that many say have been building for years.
Then, we head to Fort Valley for a powerful and emotional conversation focused on farm stress and mental health — a challenge many in agriculture face but often goes unseen. Hear how communities are coming together to offer support and hope.
And later, we take a look at one of the toughest threats facing producers today — feral swine — and how new DNA technology is helping track and control these destructive animals.
These stories and more, right now on The Farm Monitor.
