Farming and ranching is a stressful occupation in the best circumstances but adding the unpredictability of climate change on top of that makes it especially challenging. Producers will likely have to overcome adverse circumstances at some point in their careers, and there are resources available to support them. In this session we will highlight ways farmers are building resilience on their farms in the face of increasing weather extremes, and we will hear stories of farmers who have gotten through disaster and learned important lessons along the way.
