The Indiana AgrAbility Project at Purdue University will host a free webinar on Sept. 27 to provide support and health resources for farmers. "Mental/Behavioral Health Resources for the Drought Aftermath" will begin at 2 p.m. CDT.

"As disappointing harvests become a reality for many, the financial and emotional impacts of the drought may lead some farm families into crisis," says Paul Jones, Purdue AgrAbility Project manager.

The goal of the session is to give Midwestern farm families and Extension personnel health resources to help them cope with possible effects of the drought.
