Without Farmers, Where Would We Be?

Anyone who doesn’t understand that Farmers are one of the most vital occupations in our country, should have to figure out how to get their own food for a day or two, and then I think they’d see.

The knowledge farmers have acquired from those before them and from years of experience is impressive. They understand the weather, the earth, and sometimes how they need to pivot to produce their product.  

Combining those things with the physical side of their job on top of the long hours and the sacrifices that farmers have to make, farming can really take a toll. 

For as much as they know, just as much, if not more, is out of their control, which can create hardships and hard times. That’s why it’s a good thing that the Minnesota Department of Agriculture has the Minnesota Farm and Rural Helpline. 

This helpline is staffed with people who understand the challenges that farmers face and the things that keep them up at night. Whether it’s financial worries, the changes in the world of pricing and marketing or how the farming lifestyle affects the family at home, there is a place to turn for help and guidance. 

The State of Minnesota has many options that could help reduce the stress, and maybe even help turn the situation from dire to trending upward.  

Help Isn't Hard To Find!

There may be sources that you weren’t aware of that can help make your situation a lot better, or at least help you feel better prepared to deal with it.
