Drought can be very stressful for farmers who must manage their farms differently, working harder to make sure livestock are cared for adequately and crops are irrigated. Sometimes farmers must make difficult decisions about selling livestock. The challenges of managing a farm during drought can cause an increase in stress and anxiety, so a Hillsboro farmer is reaching out to others to spread awareness about mental health.
