The December 30th print edition of The Western Producer contained at story that suggested several phone numbers that relate to farm stress lines in Western Canada weren’t working appropriately and related the difficulty reporters had connecting with live resources at the end of November.
In that story, a number for DoMoreAg was confused with the Saskatchewan farm stress line. DoMoreAg is not a stress line provider, it is an organization that provides education and awareness about this critical and underserved issue in the nation’s agricultural community.
