Story
Life on the farm isnt all darling buds of may. We work in one of the most dangerous industries.
Long days, trying to beat the weather, constant days of problem solving, not seeing other people and missing out on family time. Farmers are tough buggers but are also sensitive souls. We dont like to ask for help yellow wellies are helping tackle this issue
Yellowwellies.org Our farming industry has experienced turbulent times over the past few years - extreme weather conditions, poor harvests, supply chain shortages and a global pandemic to contend with but, through it all, farming endured as it always does.
The UK's farmers are a remarkable breed; adaptable, resilient, and incredibly hardworking. Their efforts put food on our plates, produced to some of the highest standards in the world, and their careful stewardship knits together the environmental and social fabric of our beautiful landscape. But this commitment is coming at a price...
A shocking 94% of farmers under the age of 40 rate poor mental health as the biggest hidden problem faced today according to our latest research. And, in an industry that continues to have the poorest safety record of any occupation in the UK, making sure we are all looking after our physical and mental wellbeing has become even more important.
