KAP Hosts Mental Health Webinar

A webinar on mental health was hosted Friday by Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP).
 
Kim Hyndman-Moffat works for Canadian Suicide Prevention Services.

She says farming is one of most stressful jobs out there.

We are also gonna be talking about how and why they certify as Certified Naturally Grown, and how that label has worked for them.
