From Nights, 10:17 pm on 6 September 2024

A Scottish offshoot of a Kiwi farmer advocacy group is celebrating one year since it was founded.

Farmstrong Scotland was inspired by the approach New Zealand has taken to mental health and wellbeing, responding to the unique challenges faced by the agriculture sector.

John Scott is the chairperson of Farmstrong Scotland, and he joins Emile Donovan.
