Following Mental Health Awareness Week, it feels especially important to continue the conversation around mental health within the agriculture industry.
Agriculture is an industry built on resilience, hard work, and determination. But behind that resilience, many people are carrying pressures that often go unseen.
Long hours, financial uncertainty, isolation, unpredictable weather, rising costs, and the constant demand to keep going regardless of circumstances. For many working in rural industries, there is often a mindset of simply “getting on with it”, even when things feel overwhelming.
