Even with all the talk surrounding mental health recently, ranchers and farmers say they are feeling left out of the conversation despite a suicide rate as high as the one veterans have.
If you or someone you know in the agriculture community is struggling, call the AgriStress helpline at 833-897-AGRI . It is staffed and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.“You’re out here kind of remote and then, you become more accustomed to being alone,” said Hugh Turk, a third-generation rancher that lives in Kaycee, Wyoming, a town of 250 people about an hour north of Casper.
“You get kind of loaded with self-doubt, and I think that’s sort of why it’s linked to depression,” said Turk. “Depression is sort of like this beast that its whole goal is to preserve itself and it keeps you from going and seeking help and it keeps sucking you down.” “The same thing that makes somebody successful in agriculture— the independence, the long hours, that ability to want to do things for yourself— that same kind of personality makes it difficult for people to seek help,” said Lucy Pauley, a coordinator with the Wyoming Department of Agriculture.
