But why?
The majority of farmers surveyed across different studies believe that mental health is the biggest issue facing the agricultural industry.
Being from a large farming family we have seen first hand the need for the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution (RABI).
RABI studies show that around a third of farmers are considered "probably or possibly depressed" and nearly half of farmers surveyed by RABI reported experiencing some form of anxiety.
Now more than ever, the farming community need support from their networks and RABI.
