Farming can be a stressful occupation. It is important for farmers to take care of themselves and their families. Minnesota has numerous resources to help with those coping with farm and rural stress.
Minnesota Farm and Rural Helpline
Phone: 833-600-2670 for a 24/7 confidential and free chat with trained staff and volunteers
Text: FARMSTRESS to 898211
Email: farmstress@state.mn.us
Free, confidential, 24/7. If you or someone you know is struggling with stress, anxiety, or depression, reach out to the Minnesota Farm and Rural helpline. Trained counselors answer calls, and sometimes it’s easier to talk to someone you don’t know. And if you are experiencing business, financial, or legal problems, they can connect you to that kind of help.
Minnesota also has two Rural Mental Health Counselors who work with farmers throughout Minnesota. No cost and no paperwork!
