Mental health app for farmers seeing success in Saskatchewan

As farmers get out into the field for harvest, it’s important to have discussions around mental health.

Megz Reynolds is the executive director of the Do More Agriculture Foundation. She said the stress and uncertainty of harvest season can greatly affect one’s mental health.

For the most part, these stressors are things farmers can’t control.

“You could be experiencing feelings of anxiety, (you’re feeling) overwhelmed (or you’re having) trouble sleeping. You might be more irritable (and) having trouble concentrating because of that stress load that you’re dealing with,” said Reynolds.
