We were recently given the opportunity to host a conversation at the Norco, PrimeX field days. In 2023 Norco and the National Farmers Federation released a report: The National Farmer Wellbeing Report
When it comes to mental health, farmers in Rural Australia face disproportionately high rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide.
As part of our work at Humans of Agriculture, we want to use our platform to have conversations that matter and this one is incredibly important.
In this episode, Warren shares his personal experiences; achieving the dream of being a dairy farmer, and subsequently losing it as he faced various natural disasters. With the support of professionals, family and friends, Warren got his life back on track however it wasn't as a farmer. He physically and metaphorically closed that gate and chapter of his life, and his new persona took off - the unbreakable farmer.
Warren Davies is not just any average Farmer. There is more to this farmer than meets the eye. His eventful life has tested his Resilience, Persistence and Determination. All having a massive impact on his young family, relationships and finances. But this has made Warren the Farmer he is today - The Unbreakable Farmer.

Podcast sponsor - Boarding Schools Expo
This week’s episode sponsor is the Boarding Schools Expo. Amanda and her team have been helping country kids and their families transition to boarding school life for 20 years.
They believe in equity of access to choice, options, and opportunities for children’s education. They take a practical approach based on the saying “you don’t know what you don’t know” to help you get across what you need to know.
They have a busy July with a pop-up in Moree on the 25th of July and then a weekend in Tamworth on the 26th and 27th of July. If you or someone you know wants to find out more - tell them to get along!!
