Stress on the Farm
Farmers and farm families deal with a lot of stress for a variety of reasons. They are often working hard to meet challenges that are out of their control, such as market volatility, weather, pests, disease, etc. A lot of farm families have off farm jobs for extra income but that can add extra stress too.
High levels of stress can affect a farmer or rancher's mental and physical health, which will reduce their quality of life and can lead to serious health problems. Stress can also effect relationships and safety on the farm.
