Farmers and ranchers suffer from countless disabilities like arthritis, lung problems, diabetes, heart trouble, obesity, back problems, vision or hearing problems, respiratory diseases, and much more. If you are familiar with a farmer or rancher’s lifestyle, it is not hard to see why these individuals suffer from such problems. The job typically involves heavy lifting, repetitive bending, exposure to harmful chemicals and toxic gases, overexposure to sun, the use and maintenance of dangerous equipment, etc. In addition to the physical hazards, there are also emotional concerns. America´s farmers and ranchers have to cope with more stress than the average worker. Droughts, floods, pests, long hours, financial concerns, and other complications can lead to feelings of isolation and frustration.
