Illinois Director of Agriculture Jerry Costello says National Farm Safety and Health Week not only focuses on physical safety going into harvest, but also draws attention to farmer mental health.
He tells Brownfield the Farm Family Resources Initiative hotline is available to farmers entering a stressful time of year.
“You can call 1-833-FARM-SOS if you are experiencing major stress or in a suicidal situation. Please know that this is an outlet for you.
