Key Points

  • This bill, introduced by Representative Feenstra, would keep a program running that provides mental health support for people in the farming industry. It increases the program's funding to $15 million per year through 2030.
  • The money will pay for crisis hotlines and counseling services to help farmers and ranchers deal with stress. Farming can be a high-pressure job, and this program aims to give families the tools they need to stay healthy.
  • The plan also helps farmers find care closer to home. It sets up a system to refer people to local rural clinics and small-town hospitals that specialize in mental health and drug use treatment.
