A resolution supporting the designation of May 29, 2024, as "Mental Health Awareness in Agriculture Day" to raise awareness around mental health in the agricultural industry and workforce and to continue to reduce stigma associated with mental illness.

SRES 710 is a non-binding Senate resolution designating May 29, 2024, as "Mental Health Awareness in Agriculture Day." It aims to raise public awareness about mental health challenges faced by agricultural workers and producers, while reducing stigma around mental illness in this industry. The resolution highlights that farmers have a suicide rate 3.5 times higher than the general population and references existing USDA resources like the Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network (FRSAN). It encourages the public to observe the day to promote mental well-being for those working in agriculture, without creating new laws or funding.
