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.
