Like many Americans, farmers are reluctant to acknowledge mental health issues, and they are unlikely to use resources that aren’t easily accessible to people living in rural areas.
Screenings of On the Farm can help change that. The film provides four compelling portraits of farmers who, in different ways, illustrate the stresses that weigh on America’s small family farmers.
