Farmers and mental health: the struggle is real. The suicide rate for farmers is three to five times higher than the general population, prompting @umash_umn to develop resources farmers can use. z.umn.edu/4akv #MentalHealthMonth

@FarmersLegal is honored to receive funds to expand our services and create the @NativeAgLaw Center exclusively for Native farmers, ranchers, and fishers. We learned a lot from other grantees and thank @NativeAgFund for bringing us together. The grantees are doing amazing things!

Over the past three days, we heard from 32 orgs which received grants from the Keepseagle v. Vilsack lawsuit. All of them are doing incredible work to support Native agriculture/food sovereignty in their communities! We will release a report from the convening in the near future.
