Lucky episode 013 is all about how we keep sane during one of the most stressful times of year - planting. As tractors are firing up all over the Buckeye state, we want to remind you that we have your back and so does your community.

Hosts Luke and Marlene go through farmer-submitted answers to the questions how you keep going during planting, what's your best advice for staying positive, and how you care for yourself and your family. They also talk about personal experiences with stress management and self-preservation.

But don't think this episode is all meditation and therapy. While we are talking about a serious topic, you also get a story from Luke on how he used exercise to "inspire" his Marines and the embarrassing thing Marlene does in the car.

How do you stay sane in the cab? What are your tricks to not throw in the farming towel and move to Florida?
