In 2020, the Kentucky legislature proclaimed the Wednesday of National Farm Safety Week "Farmer Suicide Prevention Day." Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death among Americans. Unfortunately, farmers experience an even worse toll. From 2004 to 2017, 109 Kentucky farmers died by suicide, with those over 64 most at risk. Currently, stressors are the highest they have been in years, with producers suffering with supply chain issues, changing weather patterns and increasing input prices.
