The 2018 Farm Bill was the first to direct funding toward farmers’ mental health, by providing grants for the Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network (FRSAN), which connects farmers, ranchers, and agricultural workers with mental health assistance programs and resources. “The bill is the major way we can bring about change on this issue.”Even before climate change began taking its toll, farmers already faced severe mental health issues. Yet despite these challenges, farmers are less likely than the general public to have access to mental health services. Traditional mental health services can be alienating to farmers, who sometimes come from communities where mental health is highly stigmatized.
