Do More Ag launches "Walk With Me" campaign

The Do More Agriculture Foundation launched its new initiative "Walk With Me" as part of World Mental Health Day on Tuesday.

"Walk With Me" is a global campaign created by U.K. farmer Chris Manley when he was struggling with depression.

Manley found that walking and journaling helped to improve his mental health, and wrote a poem called Walk with Me that outlined the feelings that people can have while feeling low.

Issues around mental health and agriculture have been getting more attention in the last few years.

Do More Ag's Executive Director Megz Reynolds says the "Walk with Me" campaign is focused on elevating mental health awareness and fostering a supportive environment within the agriculture community.
