During the stressful spring season, experts advise Wisconsin farmers to seek mental health support.
As they get ready to start production for the year, a lot of farmers are dealing with a variety of pressures, including high operating costs, unpredictable weather, and other issues.
Doctor Kim Lansing, a physician from La Crosse, says that she is also a farmer and that many farmers face cultural barriers when they try to get help for themselves.
She advises anyone in need of assistance to get in touch with organizations like the National Farm Medicine Center and the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation.
