Don McMoran, dmcmoran@wsu.edu
WSU Skagit County Extension Director, on BFR 7.4 million for Farm Stress and upcoming $5,000 mini grants (high priority to provide for Tribal areas included in project): Summary: Agriculture is widely known as a high-stress occupation. Stressors faced by farmers in the geographically large and culturally diverse Western region are many: unstable finances (high debt loads) and changing commodity markets often carrying the pressure of multigenerational farm lineage, complex regulation and policy, adverse weather and climate change, and recent COVID-19 related stressors. While the stressors vary, the impact of extreme stress in agriculture reveals itself in the high occupational suicide rates of farmers and farmworkers. The Western Region Agricultural Stress Assistance Program (WRASAP) is dedicated to improving the health and safety of those working in Western agriculture through multidisciplinary research, outreach, and trainings.
