Local activation of Farm Neighbors Care projects helps build connections, spread awareness and strengthen rural communities.

Barron County Farm Bureau hosted its Farm/City Banquet in March, bringing together farmers, ag professionals and community members for an evening focused on connection, education and celebration. The event featured speakers Jeff “Ditz” Ditzenberger and Brittany Olson, who shared impactful insights and practical strategies to support mental health in rural communities.

This project was supported through a Farm Neighbors Care grant made possible by the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation and McCade's Joyride.
