Field Good Life with Jennifer James

Running a family farm means the lines between work and home are… well, basically nonexistent. The kitchen table doubles as a meeting space, and weekends? They don't really exist in planting or harvest season. But at the end of the day, there's nothing I'd trade for this way of life. If you run a family business, how do you balance it all? #Work #Balance #FieldGoodLife

The Silent Struggle: Mental Health in Farming with Haley Mills

Farming isn't just a job—it's a way of life. But with that life comes long hours, financial uncertainty, and the weight of generations depending on you.

The stress of unpredictable markets, long hours, and financial pressure can weigh heavy on farm families. Mental health matters just as much as the work in the field. Haley Mills joined Field Good Life to talk about breaking the stigma, recognizing the signs of struggle, and finding the support we all deserve. If you or someone you love is struggling, check in. A simple conversation can make all the difference. Listen in & let's keep the conversation going: ??: https://lnkd.in/gzRMCSSP ??: https://lnkd.in/gukPhh9S #FarmStrong #MentalHealthMatters #FieldGoodLife

Farming isn't just what we do—it's who we are. It's early mornings, late nights, and a whole lot of heart poured into every season. It's a way of life that connects each farmer to the land, our families, and the food we grow for others. No clocking out, just a deep-rooted commitment to something bigger. ??? #FieldGoodLife #FarmLife #WayOfLife #RootedInAgriculture

Some days, farming looks like rolling fields and golden sunsets. Other days, it's a broken tractor, a sudden weather shift, and a to-do list that somehow got longer. If there's one thing farming teaches you, it's to roll with the punches. What's a challenge you faced this week? #Farm #Arkansas #FieldGoodLife
