Farming doesn’t come with days off. Neither should mental health support.
The National Farmer Crisis Line is available 24/7, free and confidential for farmers, farm families and agricultural workers.

Get immediate crisis support and connection to ag-informed counselling when you need it most.

This week is Canadian Agricultural Safety Week, led by @planfarmsafety, reminding us that farm safety and mental health are connected.
Exhaustion, stress, and overwhelm affect our ability to make clear decisions, notice hazards, and react quickly when things go wrong. Mental wellbeing isn't separate from farm safety, it's part of what keeps operations running safely.
Safe farms need people who have the capacity to stay alert and present. That means rest, support, and managing stress matter for more than just mental health—they matter for safety too.

During a thunderstorm, be careful around lightning. It’s a million times more powerful than household electrical current. Remember, when the thunder roars, go indoors. For more, check out: getprepared.gc.ca/cnt/hzd/th…
