#573 - The Most Important Piece of Equipment on Your Farm! Part Two. “Health Equals Wealth”

The Ag View Pitch

Dr. Kurt House with Medical Associates of Independence Iowa, visits with Chris about the most important piece of equipment on your farm.

We don’t think twice about changing the oil on our tractor timely or greasing machines daily to keep all of our equipment in top-notch shape.

How are you doing with your body? It’s the one piece of equipment that has the most value on your entire farm.

Unfortunately, many people neglect the most important piece of equipment with the excuse of “not enough time”, or “simply not a priority.”

This is a conversation around some tactics that can help you to improve yourself from a health perspective.

Not taking care of yourself now can be an expensive endeavor later on in life. It’s not any different than not caring for your equipment.

Dr. House and Chris go on to discuss some key things that can change your life by creating a healthy environment for yourself and ensure that you’re around to enjoy farming as long as you want, before you pass it along to the next generation.

The key topics discussed include exercise, sleep, nutrition, water intake, mental health, and safety.

Investing time in your health, both physically, and mentally will impact the bottom line of your business financially faster than investing in any other piece of equipment on the farm.
