Farmers Thrive
Mar 20, 2020
Dear Central Farm Service Member -
We would like to make you aware of Farmers Thrive, an ongoing support service available for producer members who are eligible for the CFS/Land O’Lakes Cooperative Farmer Member Health Plan.
NOTE: Producers DO NOT need to be enrolled in the Land O’Lakes Cooperative Farmer Member Health Plan to take advantage of Farmers Thrive. They simply need to be an active producer member of Central Farm Service.
Producers, now more than ever, are dealing with a multitude of stressors in their lives. COVID-19 presents a brand-new set of challenges and struggles. And farming overall has been very difficult these past few years. We all know and see the financial burden producers and their families live with on a day-to-day basis. We also know the impact all of this has on their mental health.
Recognizing this, Central Farm Service, Land O’Lakes and Gravie has partnered with BHS to offer Farmers Thrive, a cost-free, confidential resource for farmers and their household members to help them through a wide array of life challenges. With Farmers Thrive, producers can connect with a care coordinator 24/7 by phone, live chat, or secure message through the BHS portal. Producers can also take advantage of new content and resources specifically tailored to COVID-19.

Highlights as of 5/16:
Corn:
Planting and weather conditions are the name of the game currently. With planting progress looking very favorable and the weather forecast showing above normal temps and below normal precipitation for much of the corn belt all signs point to very good planting conditions. With that, we gave up yesterday’s gains on old crop and put in some new lows on December corn.

May is Beef Month!
I am proud to be a part of the cattle industry. Heart, dedication, and hard work are the words that come to mind when I think of the cattle industry. I am proud of our cattle producers as they put a lot of time and effort into raising, caring for, and providing a healthy, nutritious protein source to sustain our society.
