Farmers can access free tools and resources to help navigate stress and strengthen well-being through the Farmer Mental Health Resilience Program: bit.ly/46F5Ajz

On this National Ag Day, we’re honoring the hard work and resilience of farmers and agricultural communities across the country.

Behind every harvest are long hours, unpredictable conditions, and real pressures that can take a toll on mental health. Rural Minds’ new Farmer Mental Health Resilience Program was created – with the generous support of VM Agritech – to provide farmers with tools and resources to help navigate stress and strengthen well-being.
