To help Iowa farmers through these extremely difficult times, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is hosting a series of webinars to provide some relief.

“Stress on the Farm: Strategies That Help” webinars will offer ways to cope with the stress of low commodity prices, unpredictability of COVID-19, derecho impacts and other hardships that farmers are facing. The 30-minute online programs will be led by ISU Extension Behavioral Health Specialist Dr. David Brown. The next upcoming programs are Monday at 10:30am and Thursday at 8:30am.
