Challenges for Agricultural Producers and Workers – How to Assist Those on the Front Line

People who work in agriculture are directly responsible for feeding the world, no matter if they go and work in the fields or with the animals on a small scale or a big scale. They commit their time and efforts to provide good to the world. Unfortunately, on a day-to-day basis, they are exposed to multiple stress sources related and non-related to their work that may lead often into chronic stress. Will the chronic stress ever go away? How do agricultural producers and workers perceive their levels of stress? What are their main sources of stress? What are possible mitigation techniques? What are their preferred methods of receiving helpful information? The Western Region Agricultural Producers and Workers Stress Surveys were designed by members of the WRASAP team to understand better the stressors and desired mitigation techniques that can be adapted based on gender, race, and age.

Presenter: Gracia María Puerto Hernández, Spanish Speaking Agricultural Extension Coordinator, Washington State University Skagit County Extension
