The National Farmers Union approved the Farmers First Act, a two -party law that adjusts and increases funds for farms and ranch stress support networks to approve Farmers First Act.
“Agriculture can be tremendous stress, and too many rural communities still need mental health support.” Farmers FIRST Act will help to connect farmers and ranches with essential resources to solve farm stress and improve welfare. “
FRSAN supports people in agricultural, ranches and other agricultural asset work by connecting to support programs that will help you manage stress and mental health. According to recent data, farmer’s suicide rate is more than twice the national average. FRSAN is an essential tool that allows rural and agricultural communities to receive important mental health care in areas with almost or no approaches.
“We are grateful for calling Senator Baldwin and representatives of Ernst, Craig, and Feenstra for this important topic and urging them to support this bill.
