Introduced
Summary
Mental Health Awareness in Agriculture Day would designate May 29, 2026 to spotlight mental health challenges in the agricultural workforce and reduce stigma. The resolution notes that farmers and farmworkers face higher suicide rates and stresses tied to unpredictable weather, labor shortages, farm succession, and volatile commodity prices, highlights the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network as a resource, and encourages people to observe the day to promote mental well being among current and future agricultural producers and workers.
