RE: Homestead News - American Farmers and Suicide - VIDEO

in #homesteading6 years ago

There are several reasons - if in agribusiness knowing the problems of pesticides and toxins in the food you sell, the utter boredom of mono-culture farming that is not healthy for the soil or soul or animals, perceiving a financial and freedom trap because you are at the mercy of large distributors, feeling underappreciated - however I would say that small organic farmers are the least likely to commit suicide and I would like to return to that lifestyle again someday!
