October 2020 Farm Journal Story Lead Contest: Farmer Stress & Mental Health. For this month’s Cooperative Extension feature, Farm Journal’s Trust In Food seeks your stories about farmer stress and mental health. The angle to sustainability & resilience is that we have to think about farmers’ operations in context, including the well-being of themselves, their families & their team members. Part of socially responsible farming is an effort to move away from a commoditized mindset and toward a mindset that recognizes farmers as people with unique needs, challenges and opportunities. Mental health is a critical ingredient for their success and the health of our entire food system. What work are you doing that supports the well-being of farmers, their families, and their team members?
