Muirs is a long-standing, family-owned agricultural retailer and service partner to growers nationwide.
Corteva is a global agriculture company focused on crop protection, plant performance and seed innovation.
Together, they backed ‘Mates & Mo-ments’, a simple idea built around shared meals, practical gratitude and the conversations which strengthen communities.
Alongside celebrating Australian farming, each barbecue spotlighted Movember, the annual month-long fundraising campaign promoting men’s mental and physical health, and why its mission mattered in rural farming communities.
Men in farming face unique pressures, from seasonal volatility to social isolation, and research shows that the potential impact of these demands can have devastating consequences.
Normalising check-ins, encouraging help-seeking and making time to talk can make a real difference.
Whether it’s a neighbourly chat over the fence, a friendly cuppa, a call from the cab or sharing a snag at the end of a hard week, these moments matter.
Throughout November, teams at Muirs and Corteva supported Movember by growing some mos, hosting barbecue mo-ments and taking on movement challenges.
It was all in support of men’s mental health and suicide prevention, as well as prostate and testicular cancer research and support.
