Farmers and ranchers are no strangers to hard times
 

Agricultural producers regularly experience fluctuating commodity prices, trade disruptions and extreme weather events that make their already challenging jobs even more difficult. But misconceptions about “toughness,” perceived stigma, isolation and lack of accessible resources in rural communities often means farmers and ranchers avoid discussing their hardships​​​​.

Recognizing these challenges, and the outsized impact mental health can have in rural communities, Alabama Ag Credit, as part of the Farm Credit has partnered with several organizations to provide resources to help farmers and ranchers manage stress and improve their mental health.
