Agriculture Roundup for Thursday July 22, 2021
MELFORT, Sask. — Drought, finances and family issues top the list of topics people want to talk about to the trained staff at the provincial Farm Stress Line.
The line is operated on a 24-hour basis by Mobile Crisis Services.
“The upside is that no matter how many issues they are bringing to the table, people are willing to work through the issues that may have been simmering for a long time,” Jan Thorson, acting Executive Director of Mobile Crisis Services said.
The Farm Stress Line gives people an opportunity to talk with someone they don’t know and get things off their chest.
