Additionally, younger women were found to be more stressed out by financial pressures. At the same time, they were less concerned about the future of farming and agriculture as opposed to older women.
Still, 50% of women between the ages of 25 and 44 reported feeling extremely stressed out by financial pressures.
According to Dr. Wheeler, it is the intersection of stressors, pressures, and concerns that make anxiety and loneliness prevalent among women in farming.
“It is easy to imagine how any confluence of strained family relationships, long working hours, and feeling isolated might be associated with a person also feeling lonely and/or anxious,” Dr. Wheeler underscored.
“The addition of numerous other common farming stressors– many of which concern factors lying outside the control of individual farmers and farming families– can only add to this burden.”
