It was a great three days filled with excitement, exploration, a lot of learning, and hands-on experiences for 436 third graders at Life on the Farm. Students were able to rotate sessions to learn about cattle identification, animals on the farm, breeds of cattle, looks, feels, and smells on the farm, and field to table learning how a farmer plants a crop, crop growth, harvesting, to the mill, processor, distribution and finally to our tables. Students created their own brand and made homemade pasta.
Thank you to our sponsors; Richardson International/8th Ave. Provisions (pasta), ND Wheat Commission, ND Dept. Of Ag, ND Cattlewomen, ND Sunflower Association, and Acme Equipment. Also, thank you to our incredible Admin. Assts. Lisa and Kerry, and our fantastic volunteers; Bismarck FFA members, Sarah C., Katie J., Ann, Doug, Clayton, Mike.

Farmers and ranchers are often expected to keep pushing through even when things start to pile up. Long hours, financial pressures, weather....... weather..... uncertainty, setbacks..... it can all become overwhelming. Unfortunately North Dakota has seen the largest increase in su***de rate over a 20 year period (CDC data).

Resilience can get us through difficult seasons but it doesn't mean we have to handle everything on our own. Sometimes it's recognizing when you need help and support and knowing where to turn.

Reach out to someone you trust....a friend, family member, neighbor, pastor .....anyone you feel comfortable talking to.

IF you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.

Numerous crisis and counseling resources. We partner with Together Therapy and Wellness and Eyes on the Horizon.

We have several resources available: https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/ag-hub/ag-topics/farm-safety-health/managing-stress
