Stop Trivializing Farmer Suicide
Language Warning
Some responses to our recent discussion about farmer suicide rates completely missed the point.
Rather than write another article, I needed to say this directly from the cab today.
Warning: This one contains a few F-Bombs, but I feel strongly about this issue.
Sometimes, raw honesty matters more than polite conversation.
PS: I want to acknowledge that most responses have been supportive and encouraging. This community continues to show up for meaningful conversations about mental health in agriculture. We’ll keep pushing this dialogue forward despite the critics.
The conversation’s just getting started.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Bye for now. 🌱
It’s only going to get worse forever.
Nothing Good Has Ever Happened.
Nothing could be more important. TY producers and stewards of life. How can we raise awareness and resources to alleviate the isolation and pain you’ve been bearing? Please keep writing , keep talking from the cab and from your kitchen tables. TY ! Is the current economic system helping in any way? What about regulations and interest rates and subsidies? What about rural healthcare shortages… what about limited broadband? What about foreign interests? Tell us 🙏
