Chatting with Dom about what he has been up to over the past few weeks, rural health advocate Craig 'Wiggy' Wiggins reveals his latest project 'Replace a Mate'.
He explains how this initiative aims to connect farmers in need with semi-retired farmers, ensuring continuous farm operations while providing much-needed respite.
Wiggy delves into the conception of the idea, which came from well-known rural Cantabrian Rob Cope-Williams who collaborated with him to turn a concept into a real programme.
He also touches on the pressing issue of rural bus service funding cuts, exploring the complexities of maintaining vital bus services amid underfunding and the government's efforts to optimise routes through a bus plan review.
