As farmers face historic headwinds and market hardships, calls to the national Farm Aid hotline and the Iowa Concern hotline " where farmers can get support in times of mental health crisis or need " are increasing.

The Farm Aid hotline is also seeing a change in the urgency of calls. Financial losses and stress are also significant risks for depressive symptoms. And right now, times are tough for farmers.
