A charity has developed a campaign to encourage farmers to talk about personal wellbeing during this year's mental health awareness week.
The Farming Community Network (FCN) is asking farmers if they really are 'as tough as old boots' throughout the course of this week's annual initiative.
The charity's campaign seeks to break down some of the ways in which farmers might put on a brave face and avoid talking about difficult topics such as suicide, bereavement and loneliness.
