This week, we sit down with California FFA member Samantha Selliers, whose Ag Communications SAE is making a powerful impact across her community. Through her project, she’s shining a light on farmers’ mental health, the challenges they often carry quietly, and the strength it takes to speak up when times get tough. Samantha is using her voice—and her passion for storytelling—to support the people who feed the world. Her work reminds us that checking in, offering support, and breaking the stigma around mental health matters now more than ever. Tune in to hear her story, her mission, and the difference one student can make. #BeyondTheJacket #FFA #AgCommunications #MentalHealthInAg #FarmStrong #Agriculture Be sure to follow us on social media to stay up to date!
