Today’s Nebraska farmers and ranchers are dealing with tight margins, devastating weather events in addition to the everyday stress and workload of managing crops and livestock. When under stress, accidents are more likely to occur, leading to devastating consequences. It is important to remind our farmers and ranchers of resources available to help them deal with the stresses of their jobs.
