Oklahoma Farm Bureau is set to host the final Cultivating Healthy Minds webinar featuring Dr. Shannon Ferrell of Oklahoma State University Friday, Oct. 13 at noon on the Zoom webinar platform.
The final webinar will be centered on resilience in agriculture, where Dr. Ferrell will explore the idea of “toxic grit” and offer tools farmers and ranchers can use to cope with some of agriculture’s unique risks and mental health concerns.
The webinar session will also feature a testimonial from an Oklahoma Farm Bureau member about their walk with mental wellbeing to offer hope and encouragement by starting conversations around this important topic.
Dr. Shannon Ferrell is a professor of agricultural economics at Oklahoma State University, where he specializes in agricultural law. As an educator and speaker, he has helped audiences across North America understand the fundamental legal elements of farm business management and farm transition planning, and he has testified before Congress and the Oklahoma legislature on multiple policy issues involved in farm transitions.
