Farmers often shy away from discussing mental health, but the statistics reveal a pressing crisis: suicide rates among farmers are 3.5 times higher than the national average, with 97% reporting depression. In this episode of The Granary, XtremeAg’s Matt Miles, Temple Rhodes, Chad Henderson and Damian Mason tackle the stigma, sharing personal stories and the power of peer support. They highlight the importance of open conversations and seeking professional help to combat isolation, stress, and the burdens of legacy farming.
This honest discussion underscores a crucial message: mental health matters, and no farmer has to face these challenges alone. Join The Granary to be part of the conversation and prioritize mental wellness in agriculture.
