The Kentucky Department of Agriculture along with the Future Farmers of America collaborated with SCAHIP to create a public service announcement reaching out to farmers and their families on the timely issue of farmer suicide prevention. Remember, if you or someone you know needs to talk please call The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline where you will be able to connect with a crisis center closest to you.
