Farmer Kane Brisco's tools for the physical and mental strains of life on the land.
Taranaki farmer and podcaster Kane Brisco started his farmer support page, Farm Fit, to create awareness of the daily pressures on farmers in New Zealand. Kane says when you break down a farmer's day – the physical load, the mobility required and the long list of difficult decisions to make – the impact of farming on the body and mind is greatly underestimated.
This book is about Kane's journey to address these struggles, and to explain how he's learnt become a better farmer by focusing on staying physically and mentally fit and healthy. It's also about what life on the land can teach the rest of us about resilience, acceptance and relieving stress and pressure.
