Helping Farmers Cope with Farm Stress
The challenges of farming have been mounting for years, creating a strain on families and employers. Farm Bureau is focusing on grassroots initiatives that engage a wide range of stakeholders to offer prevention strategies for men, women and youth at risk in agriculture, while promoting a culture that recognizes farmer mental health as a key component of overall health. Our work supports policies and legislation to provide stress assistance programs to farmers, to help increase awareness and reduce stigma for rural mental health issues.
