In the News: Agriview promotes "Be strong; ask for help"

January 21, 2025

Farmer Angel Network was highlighted in an article by Agriview called "Be Strong; Ask for Help." The article talks about how important it is to ask for help in farming. At the Farmer Angel Network, we believe that asking for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. Farming can be tough. There are many challenges like bad weather, changing markets, and daily tasks. Having a support system can really help. That’s why we are here!

We are happy to see our mission shared in such a meaningful way. If you haven’t read the article yet, we encourage you to check it out. It explains the story behind the Western Wisconsin branch and the Webster family and resources available to help.

“I think part of it is that ‘cowboy’ mentality,” Webster said. “The prevailing thought is that things will get better. The farmer is an eternal optimist. Things have changed, especially economically; it’s not what it used to be.
