Welcome to Kicking the Dust

Thanks for dropping by!

This website is based on the research I did for my doctorate.  It gives young farmers, policy makers and all interested people opportunity to explore my research in detail. Perhaps most importantly, it provides important additional information and resources, and opportunities for discussion and reconnection.

My research was the result of three key ideas:

1. my own personal interest in farming
2. the work I’ve done in mental heath and rural communities
3. a general curiosity I had about how young farmers viewed their current farming situations.

I encourage you to get involved, and share the information here with others. To get your hands on the original thesis, click here.
