Farming is more than a job. It is a way of life, and we know it brings both pride and pressure. Living and working on a farm or ranch can be isolating. When stress feels overwhelming, you don’t have to carry it alone.

Rural areas have fewer counselors, and the work never stops. However, help is available if you or someone you know is struggling. Build coping skills with confidential, no cost, telehealth counseling from a trusted licensed professional who understands agriculture. Any Missouri farmer, rancher, farmworker, and immediate family member over the age of 16 is eligible. Visit PSC Farm Ranch website or call 573-882-4677.
