AFT Collaborates with Real Farmer Care

American Farmland Trust will collaborate with Real Farmer Care as the fiscal sponsor to support and advance farmer and rancher self-care and well-being. The Real Farmer Care’s founding mission is to support farmers’ self-care needs and allocate donated funds directly to farmers and ranchers as $100 self-care awards. Self-care is the practice of taking an active role in protecting and improving one’s well-being and happiness, particularly during stressful times. Self-care activities can be inexpensive but rarely get prioritized. “As rigors in responsibilities and challenges continue for farmers, it’s critical that now more than ever they have the resources at hand to improve their well-being,” says AFT President and CEO John Piotti (pee-AHT-tee). “AFT could not be any more grateful to Real Farmer Care in this alliance to promote healthy farmer and rancher mental health.” For more information, go to Real Farmer Care or American Farmland Trust.
