Numerous factors cause stress for farmers and their families including financial problems, price and marketing uncertainties, farm transfer issues, production challenges and more.
In addition, agriculture ranks among the most hazardous industries. Farmers are at a high risk for fatal and nonfatal injuries.
It is important that we all learn how to manage our stress levels and to reduce the effects of unwanted stress. Too much stress can make you more accident prone, and it can affect your health. You can start by learning to identify common stressors, recognize the symptoms of stress and manage stress.
