Shining a Light on Farmers Mental Health Challenges

Erin Smith was shocked to learn the statistics about farming and suicide. Across England and Wales, an average of two farmers a month commit suicide. That number is closer to one farmer a week across the whole of the United Kingdom. And 84 percent of respondents in a Farm Safety Foundation survey said mental health was the biggest danger in the industry.  The numbers were a shock because Smith had grown up in a farming family. She spent time at her grandparents’ farm near Aberdeen in Scotland, surrounded by open pastures and gently rolling hills. Her view of farmers in general was a bit of an imagined portrait of a stereotypical farmer. She believed they were generally happy, hard workers who roll with whatever nature throws at them with a rueful smile.

The campaign, which has been introduced by Tilly Pass and supported by the National Farmers Union and the Farm Safety Foundation, is encouraging users to download the “Head to Tow” app before the season kicks off. Via the smartphone app or Tilly Pass website, farmers can view trailer manufacturers’ manuals and recommended daily checklists free of charge, with Richard Western, Bailey, Larrington and Stewart just a few of the makers involved.
