#4 - Doug Avery on farming through tough times

FarmIQ & FARMAX, Doug Avery

Russell MacKay yarns to Doug Avery on farming through tough times. Doug was "in the trenches". He took over the family farm in Marlborough, took on debt to increase scale,  and then drought plus depression came. In this episode, Doug talks about:

- How to look after your own mental wellbeing in general
- How he got through consecutive years of tough years farming

Doug is the author of the best-seller "The Resilient Farmer" which can be found in all good bookstores.

This episode is dedicated to Dr Tom Mulholland. Just like Doug, he worked tirelessly to improve the overall health of kiwis, in particular our rural communities.
