Reaching Out - Managing On-Farm Stress 

On this episode of The Dirt, host Mike Howell speaks with Dr. Florence Becot, a professor at Penn State University and lead of the Ag Safety and Health Program. They dive deeper into the impacts of mental health on the farm, where farmers can reach out for help, who else can help farmers who might be struggling or in a crisis, and how farmers can support other farmers not only in their communities but across the country.
If you or someone you know is struggling, call 988 from anywhere in the United States to reach a trained counselor.
