Never Ending To Do List

Time pressure is the number one stressor identified by Wisconsin farmers. The never-ending to do list is real and the weight of it can be overwhelming. In the third episode of our four-part series for May is Mental Health Month, host Karen Endres from the Wisconsin Farm Center discusses some strategies of tackling the to do list without burning out.
