Farmers and ranchers would get more mental health support and crisis help.
The Farmers First Act of 2025 would boost funding for mental health services for farmers and ranchers. It would set aside $15 million each year for five years to help connect agricultural workers with crisis lines and other health providers. This means more support for those facing stress in farming and ranching.
Today, the Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network was authorized for $10 million per year. This funding was for the government's budget years 2019 through 2023. Its services did not explicitly include crisis lines or specific referral partners. If this bill passes, the Network would be authorized for $15 million per year. This funding would be for the government's budget years 2026 through 2030. It would explicitly include crisis lines. Grant recipients could also set up referral relationships with various health providers.
