Waushara County Farm Bureau member Lynn Leahy has worn a lot of hats with Farm Bureau, most notably in her roles with the Promotion & Engagement Program.

As we celebrate 10 years of P&E this year, Lynn reflects on the program's growth and changes over the past decade.

Join us in welcoming Molly Hendrickson to Wisconsin Farm Bureau's Young Farmer and Agriculturist Committee!

Molly lives in Hollandale. She currently works for McLanahan Corporation as a marketing communications specialist, where she helps lead marketing initiatives in the agricultural division and supports the sales team and dealers. Molly grew up immersed in agriculture, working on her uncle's dairy farm and being a 4-H and FFA member. Outside of work, she enjoys reading, traveling and photography.

Welcome to the YFA Committee, Molly!

Mental health challenges can affect anyone, including farmers, farm families and rural community members. Starting a conversation may not solve everything, but it can remind someone they aren't facing life's challenges alone.

Who is someone you can check in on today?
