Study finds Texas among leaders in mental health care growth

Study finds Texas among leaders in mental health care growth

Access to health care goes beyond just having financial coverage - it’s also about being able to find and reach the right providers. As of December 2023, over 168 million people were living in areas officially recognized as having a shortage of mental health professionals. While the Affordable Care Act has helped expand coverage for mental health services through parity provisions, real-world challenges remain. Many people struggle to find in-network providers, and there are still significant cost differences between primary care and mental health care. These barriers are making the provider shortage even worse, leaving millions without the mental health support they need. 02/19/2025 04:38 AM

How to get good dirt: start with soil test

How to get good dirt: start with soil test

As winter starts to turn to spring each year, I begin getting questions from ag producers and homeowners alike on what they should fertilize with and how much they should use. I usually answer them by asking them a series of questions to figure out their own personal situation, but the conversation usually ends with me recommending that they do some soil testing. Without knowing what the nutrient levels are in the soil, it is impossible for anyone to really know what to recommend. So, since we are 4-6 weeks out from optimum fertilizing time, I thought this would be the perfect time to discuss soil testing. 02/19/2025 04:38 AM
