Senators Chuck Grassley and Jon Tester have introduced a bill that aims to help curb farmer suicide. Grassley says it’s called the Seeding Rural Resiliency Act, “That bill aims to decrease the growing suicide rates through a voluntary stress management training program.

The bill includes training for USDA’s Farm Service Agency, Risk Management Agency and NRCS employees to provide voluntary stress management when they interact with farmers and ranchers.
