In this episode sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim, we sit down with Kane Brisco, a Taranaki dairy farmer, founder of Farm Fit NZ, and author of Tools for the Top Paddock, alongside Gerard Vaughan, wellbeing lead at Farmstrong, New Zealand’s rural mental health initiative.
This conversation tackles the challenges farmers face behind the farm gate, from stress and burnout to communication and resilience. Kane and Gerard share practical tools and personal stories to help farmers take care of their mental fitness, manage workload, and build stronger relationships at home and on the farm.
Whether you're deep in calving season or just looking for ways to stay grounded, this episode offers real, relatable advice to help you thrive, not just survive, in farming.
