Farmers, ranchers, fishermen, loggers, and foresters have some of the highest rates of death by suicide compared to people working in other occupations. The majority work and live in mental healthcare provider shortage areas. They work long hours of intense physical labor, with high risk of injury, while facing social and geographic isolation. Uncontrollable stressors, like extreme weather, natural disasters, crop and animal diseases, and more, pile onto their load.
