That Farm Life
That Farm Life is Agri-Health Network's weekly podcast hosted by Archie Mason. We dive into topics that affect those in the farming community. We believe it's ok to not be ok, but we want to help people not stay that way. The Agri-Health Network is a non-profit established to provide stress assistance those engaged in farming, ranching, and other agriculture-related occupations. We encourage and provide resources for these groups to create a safe zone in the Agri-community to handle stress with biblical, faith based answers. Our goal at the Agri-Health Network is to help others recognize the signs of stress and offer opportunities to help deal with that stress through faith, family, and community with other farmers.
The Agri-Health Network is in conjunction with Grounded Faith Ministries.
