Our Rural Women's Mental Health Series shines a spotlight on an important and often overlooked topic - rural women’s mental health. We delve into the unique challenges rural women face and explore how mental wellness plays a crucial role in their everyday lives.
From the struggles of moving to the country and adjusting to life away from familiar surroundings, to balancing careers, raising children, and starting businesses in rural settings - these experiences are often accompanied by feelings of isolation, guilt, and the pressure of constantly serving others.
But alongside these challenges, we also celebrate the resilience of rural women, the strength of their communities, and the deep connections that form in these environments. Our podcast episodes this month featured stories of hope and practical strategies to help refind and maintain a strong sense of self amidst it all.

024 | Before we dove deep into the world of electrification and solar on farms we touched on Denmark's latest annoucement - the first country in the world to tax agri emissions but its not law yet! - will they make it further than anyone else? The UK have had a change in govt, what does it mean for ag and trade? and finally maze maze the amazing maize, well not quite so quickly! there are huge supply chain issues cause all sorts of problems for those growing maize for grain in the North Island.
This week we had the epic Mike Casey from Forest Lodge Orchard and Rewiring Aotearoa co-hosting the pod with us. He is a "nerd" (of his own admission) in the world of electrification, he's blazing the trial right out front showing the rest of us what can be done. He's then very kindly sharing all his knowledge so we can learn and uptake as quickly as possible. This is an exciting conversation that really ignited the flame of opportunity and how farming can be a solution to the country!

023 | The FOMO is real! UK Groundswell have brought music concert vibes to farming with their latest "conference" (not sure you can call it that) bringing together farmers, foodies and everyone in between to talk about regenerative agriculture - this one is on the bucket list for sure! We also discuss the NZ rural banking inquiry and AgriZERO's work in reducing methane emissions via practical tools for farmers.
This week we debate Gene Editing, and the fact that NZ has been silent on the topic for over 20 years. Now is the time to have the conversation as we are quickly falling behind the rest of the world and we need to know what our renewed stance is and why? NZ Food strategy anyone?

021 | It's been a busy week in NZ Ag largely due to field days at Mystery Creek last week - a highlight in the annual calendar for many. This saw KPMG lunch their Agribusiness Agenda for 2024, The Govt confirm on their election promise of keeping ag out of the ETS, and the announcement of the Fieldays innovation awards
Young Innovator - Mark-It (St Peter's Cambridge)Prototype - FleecegrowEarlystage - KiwifibreGrowth and Scale - WoolAidThen we ask the question - with so many components reducing the land available for farming - what will we actually eat?
here is a list of resources from our chat and we would love to engage further with you on our Instagram page

020 | Are we in NZ sure we have the sustainability of our workforce covered? Can we honestly say that we use best practice in staff relationships and with Sharemilkers/Managers and Owners? Do we have the framework to support our farmers to be great in this area? And how do we measure our success or lack there of? Does this have the potential to be the underbelly of NZ Ag that is just waiting to be exposed? Will this cost us our Social Licence to operate? and be the next dirty dairy exposure?

017 | We are joined by the one and only Steph Borowski, maybe the funniest farmers wife on the internet. We traverse all things from homeschooling wild and free farm kids, regen ag, the wellness properties of red meat, to the good, bad and ugly of a modern day rural community. There isn't much that isn't talked about this week. So light the fire (it's that time of year), grab a cuppa and a bikkie (you've earnt a wee treat) and join us for a good ol' yarn.
We highly recommend you check out Motherland Australia's podcast, Mother's groups/Villages and all other things they have to offer - https://motherlandaustralia.com.au/
Make sure you are following @steph.borowski and check out her podcast she co-hosts with Husband Josh, Mans Land on Spotify.

016 | A major Southland windfarm is to proceed through the new fast tracking consenting process, a survey examining the profitability and carbon footprints in regenerative agriculture, and the continuing decline in farm sales and prices all hit the news desk this week.
We delve Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, try to demystify the concept and provide a simple explanation that everyone can understand to reduce fear and empower everyone - rural and urban - to take action, if they so choose - or not but from an educated standing.
Additionally, we look ahead to the upcoming South Island Dairy Event (SIDE) at Lincoln University on June 25 and 25 - learn more here.
