What would you do if you were told that you would never walk again? That was the reality for this week’s guest. We start this week at the Maize Growers Association conference where we talk all about bridging the gap between farming and the public.  We then have an inspiring interview with Mike Nixon aka @mikewheelchairfarming who after facing a life-altering on-farm accident, used his unwavering passion for agriculture to push him to adapt and redefine what's possible.  In this episode, he shares his remarkable story of overcoming both the physical and mental challenges and proving that farming can be accessible to all. Mike's a champion for on-farm safety and a true inspiration. This episode is a powerful reminder of resilience, the unwavering spirit of the agricultural community, and the importance of staying safe on the farm. Don't miss it!
