When I am not in the office I am a farmers wife and a proud Fat Farmers board member. This weekend I got to be both.

Reggie the cav and I did a few hot laps in the header with Rob, then I headed to Jamestown to help at the soft launch of the Fat Farmers health hub. It is a great initiative creating space for health professionals to run checks for our rural community, and it was a huge hit.

Weekends like this are what help us understand our clients on a deeper level.

Harvest can be a challenging time for everyone with long hours and the pressure to get everything done. It can be easy to overlook your own wellbeing, but looking after yourself is one of the most important parts of getting through the season safely. Some tips to get through the next couple of weeks:

1. Take your time, one mistake will cost you much more time than taking a few extra seconds to slow down.

2. Pack yourself good, healthy food and drink plenty.

3. Finally, one piece of advice I gave in one of my very first newsletters, “almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, even you”… which I always think is a great reminder to take a break when you need it.
