New York State farmers constantly deal with stress. Farm families’ heritage, identity, pride, and finances are tied directly to the farm. Farm families can also experience stress as the result of a sudden event—such as crop loss, an accident, a personnel change, or a family death. In other instances, it may be a gradual change from a prolonged physical illness, excessive working hours, or relationship difficulties. All of these elements and family relationships put pressure on NY’s farm families. |
