Do More Ag launches "Walk With Me" campaign

The Do More Agriculture Foundation launched its new initiative "Walk With Me" as part of World Mental Health Day on Tuesday.

"Walk With Me" is a global campaign created by U.K. farmer Chris Manley when he was struggling with depression.

Manley found that walking and journaling helped to improve his mental health, and wrote a poem called Walk with Me that outlined the feelings that people can have while feeling low.

Issues around mental health and agriculture have been getting more attention in the last few years.

Do More Ag's Executive Director Megz Reynolds says the "Walk with Me" campaign is focused on elevating mental health awareness and fostering a supportive environment within the agriculture community.

Before trade and tariffs dominated the conversation, taxation was one of the biggest issues on farmers’ minds last year. From the carbon tax to capital gains, OFA worked with the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and provincial partners to push for fair, practical solutions. We saw progress on carbon tax relief and capital gains, and we continue to advocate for modernized farm tax programs at both the provincial and federal levels.

OFA works to represent the interests of Ontario farmers to all levels of government. Renew your Farm Business Registration (FBR) by March 1/26 and choose OFA so we can continue to support Ontario farmers and their businesses.
