Presidents for two of the nation's largest farm organizations joined Newsmakers for a conversation about mental health in rural America, how the stigma has changed throughout their careers and current policy that could provide better support for farmers, ranchers and rural communities.

Zippy Duvall, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, and Rob Larew, president of the National Farmers Union, recount stories of those they've met traveling across rural America and in their own communities. They also dive into personal accounts reflecting on their own mental health, including how Zippy received support from the agriculture community after his wife Bonnie passed away in 2020.
