As a Kansan working in agriculture, you may experience elevated stress as you work hard to produce quality products, sustain your operation, and support your family. A new publication, MF3568 - “Managing Stress: Tips and Resources”, is available online at bookstore.ksre.ksu.edu/pubs/MF3568.pdf and hard copies can be purchased through the KSRE Bookstore.
Agriculture workers, employees, and the family often work day and night and cannot always avoid stressful and overwhelming situations, especially during a pandemic, drought, low market prices, and other situations that are out of their control. Resources provided here can assist you or someone you know that needs assistance in managing and overcoming stress. Caring for your own health and wellness in your high-stress profession is often overlooked but is just as critical as caring for your operation.
