Communicating with Farmers Under Stress – Workshop
This Workshop is for Agriculture Professionals who work with farmers and their families.
Numerous factors may cause stress for farmers. Many farmers face financial problems, price and marketing uncertainties, farm transfer issues, production challenges and more. You may know farmers who struggle with stress, anxiety. depression, burnout, indecision or suicidal thoughts.
