WHAT’S NEW
WHY DOES DO MORE AG EXIST?
The Do More Agriculture Foundation (Do More Ag) was started by farmers who said: we need to Do More to shine a light on mental health in agriculture.
Asking for help is not easy. There is a strong culture that pushes health to the sidelines: There is work to do. We don’t have time for that. Just tough it out.
When “tough it out” doesn’t work, we can help.
Need
Rural communities where farmers live often have poor access to mental health supports.
Need
Farmers are four times more likely to use firearms to die by suicide than the general population.
Need
Mental health challenges, mental injury, and mental illness affect agriculture, from the farmgate to the boardroom. Agriculture wants information, education, and support to help make a difference.
" YOU ARE NOT ALONE. IT IS MORE THAN OK TO ASK FOR HELP. THERE IS HOPE AND THERE IS RELIEF.
— Gerry Friesen, The Recovering Farmer
