Agriculture in Wyoming and the people of this industry are the backbone of our state. While we all know the importance of this industry, many may not understand the difficulties these operations face on a day to day basis. On a normal day, members of production agriculture face regulatory challenges, market uncertainty, difficult weather, and more.  On bad days, those challenges may be the least of a producer's worry. Because so much of a producer's operation and livelihood is totally out of their control, this profession can be overwhelmingly stressful at times.  From paying bills, to feeding their children, caring for the livestock and crops, retirement options, legal issues, social pressures, and more, farming and ranching can be full of anxiety and worry for producers and their families.

We recognize that this industry is difficult and these can be challenging times for agriculture producers. Fortunately, in times of need the agriculture community routinely pulls together to help each other and this effort is no different.  We understand that stress is part of this work and this site is meant to be a resource for those who are looking for a wide variety of information to help care for, and assist in the well-being of our Wyoming producers. Resources on this site will help with stress management, financial challenges, interpersonal difficulties, legal issues, and many other needs our producers may have. Please use these resources to help yourself, or someone you care for, so we can continue the great agricultural tradition of lending a helping hand to your neighbors and community in times of need.

If you are a producer in crisis, or know someone in need of immediate assistance, contact 1-800-273-8255 or 911.
