Farmers across North Carolina face a crisis of compounding issues that threaten their mental health and that of their families. Farmers are among the most likely to die by suicide, compared to other occupations, according to a study by the CDC. In addition to the stress that accompanied the COVID-19 pandemic, farmers are facing issues related to climate, tariffs, debt, and isolation. ncIMPACT travels to Beaufort, Pitt, and Sampson counties to learn about community-led solutions to better support farmers.
