Today’s topic as part of National Farm Safety and Health Week concerns generations of farming.
There are more older workers in agriculture than in any other industry, with 1 in 3 U-S farmers over 65 years old. With age comes wisdom, and new health and safety challenges for those who continue to work and live on the farm.
In addition, suicide continues to be a concern in farming. Check in on your friends and family, having open and honest conversations about stress, suicide, and mental health can encourage them to seek help when needed.
