The field may be quiet after harvest, but the pressure is loud. We went live from the University of Arkansas Rice Research Station to talk plainly about where the farm economy is right now, why stress is spilling past the shop door, and how to build a support system that actually fits rural life. Therapist Mandy Young shares a frontline view from veteran care, civilian clinics, and church-based counseling, then introduces Tailgate Time—a practical, mobile way to bring mental health to shops, co-ops, and feed stores so folks can take a load off without the stigma. Precision ag trainer Hunter Young adds the dealership and technology angle, tracing how low commodity prices ripple into jobs, sales, and family routines—and how smarter tools can free up time to reconnect.
