Financial stress is a common concern among agricultural producers. The unpredictable nature of farming leaves financial solvency, the businesses ability to meet long-term needs, vulnerable to weather, natural disasters, economics, animal and crop diseases, government regulations, and more. Financial instability can cause mental stress, anxiety, and/or depression for the farmer and their family. Unexpected disasters or hardships often increase a person’s risk for suicidal thoughts, ideation, and attempts.
Preventing or intervening early in financial stress is strategic for a producer’s mental well-being. A good understanding of options and strategies can directly decrease anxiety and mental stress. Access to expertise in financial management, risk analysis, mediation, and federal assistance programs is critical for the producer’s mental health and quality of life.
