Jimmy Joe Henderson

The farming and ranching Industry leads the world in suicide rates and is nearly double that of other industries, however very little is tracked or discussed here in the United States. I’m sure we all know someone who’s fallen victim and I often reflect on a couple of men I knew myself. Mental health is a serious issue among farmers and ranchers please take it seriously and don’t be afraid or too proud to talk to someone about it. We’ll have links to information and help in today’s show notes. For more information on mental health in agriculture please visit https://civileats.com/2022/02/01/farmer-mental-health-peer-support-women-wisconsin-farmers-union-usda/ https://www.ruralhealthinfo.org/topics/farmer-mental-health https://www.apa.org/practice/programs/rural/farmers-mental-wellness On today’s Episode of Brands and Barbed Wire we head back north of the border and speak with a gentleman who has a long rich history in the Angus business. We discuss the tremendous success he’s had as well as his challenges with mental health. I’m happy to introduce today’s guest and friend James Joseph Henderson or better known as Jimmy Joe Henderson to his friends.
