Agriculture can be a dangerous job. Safety and health can be overwhelming with the number of hazards on the farm. Too often we hear or read of farm incidents where a farm worker or family member was seriously injured or killed. At the Children's Center, we believe these injuries are preventable. Visit www.cultivatesafety.org to find ways to keep your family safe on the farm.

Farm kids face profound mental health challenges reflective of their parents' stressors—financial instability, long hours, and isolation. With blurred work-life boundaries, they're often left to absorb the weight of family pressures. Yet, resilience can thrive through open communication and strong connections!

Key stressors include:
🌾 Economic pressures from fluctuating commodity prices
🏡 Blurred lines between home and work
🤝 Isolation in rural areas with limited social interactions
🧠 The impact of parental mental health on children
