On today’s re-cap episode we are going back to episode #912 when we spoke with fellow ag podcaster, Jason Medows. Jason is a cattle rancher in Missouri with his wife and children. His podcast, Ag State Of Mind, deals with the issues of mental health in agriculture, and in this interview we have a very candid discussion. This is a great tie in to tomorrow’s ag business episode that is going to touch on a lot of the same subjects.

The original show notes are below.

SHOW NOTES

The world of agricultural podcasting is a small one. I have been saying for years that we need more agricultural people to jump into this space. On today’s show we are lucky enough to profile somebody who has!

Jason Medows launched his agricultural podcast, Ag State Of Mind, just over a year ago, and he got off to a great start. Based on his own personal experiences as well as a topic specific to agriculture that been brought into the light, Jason decided to focus his show on the mental health of farmers. Over the past 14 months as Jason has been producing his weekly show, he has come to realize that while there was a dire need to discuss mental health, there is just as significant of a need to talk about all health issues for farmers.

Today, Ag State Of Mind, is transitioning from focusing exclusively on mental health to all health topics for farmers. Jason is doing all of this while farming with his wife and four sons. Plus he is maintaining his town job as a pharmacist. He has a great perspective on keeping the town job while farming and pursuing the agricultural lifestyle.

I am positive that after hearing this episode you will be both a fan and a listener of Jason Medows and Ag State Of Mind.
