ROCHESTER, Minn. (RFD-TV) — While harvest might be behind us, several stressors still weigh on farmers today, from finances to trade tensions. Emily Krekelberg with the University of Minnesota Extension joined us on Monday’s Market Day Report to talk about some of the significant signs of mental health distress and health resources rural Americans should keep in mind.
In her interview with RFD-TV News, Krekelberg addressed the primary stressors that farmers face today and shared insights from the agricultural community regarding mental health. She also highlighted the signs of distress that farmers and producers should be vigilant about in themselves and others, as well as the best ways to approach someone who may be struggling but is having difficulty discussing their problems. Finally, she provided information on several available resources and training programs for rural communities.
