IFA Farmer Health and Wellbeing Webinar


Farmers’ physical and mental health and wellbeing are often pushed to one side as the important tasks of managing a busy farm take over. Winter on the farm can be challenging so it is very important that we prepare our body and mind to be winter ready.  Listen to our panel of experts to get some tips to keep fit, healthy and combat stress.
