Welcome back to the Humans of Agriculture podcast.
We missed you all last week, sometimes life gets a little busy and last week I was in New Zealand and thought we had things covered, however, we just couldn't quite manage the juggle.
This week I’m sitting down with a man who is a huge advocate for Mental Health, while we’re on that topic – if you haven’t donated to our Movember page – check it out with the link

Brendan Magee is an agronomist with
Elders and he reckons his little pocket of Beaudesert in Qld could well be one of the greatest spots to be in Australia.
Brendan’s journey is certainly an interesting one from working with race horses, to the paddocks as an agronomist and where we happened to find him for this chat.
He understands the challenges with farming in Australia and wants to see the conversations around mental health shift. He’s doing his fair share too, he is part of the Elders Wellbeing Committee, has started up mental health Mondays and takes an active role in chatting with his colleagues and clients around the importance of being mentally healthy.
