IN This March 15, 2018 photo, Phil Mendenhall closes the gate after checking his cattle on his farm in Anna, Ill. Farming is hard, it's not only physically taxing, but can also be difficult for the farmer to find themselves in the black financially after all is said and done. A new series from Food Works hopes to change that for small farmers. Starting in March, 2018, the Tune Up Workshops in Du Quoin, Ill., have sought to help local farmers refocus their efforts, what is profitable and what is not? What is the best market to be in? Is the farmer's life balanced? (Isaac Smith/The Southern, via AP)
