Ongoing trade wars, natural disasters, and market uncertainties, can take a toll that leads to mental and emotional distress, substance abuse, anxiety, depression and even suicide. A new website has been launched to help farmers and ranchers deal with stress. Governor Laura Kelly says that the suicide rate among farmers is alarming and the new site addresses the challenges farmers and their families face in today’s AG industry.
Visitors to the site will be able to find local and national resources for all issues, as well as support in all legan areas ranging from stress management to financial and legal challenges. You can check out the new site at kansasagstress.org.
