AgForce is proud to announce the launch of its new custom-designed shirts, in support of farmer wellbeing.
In collaboration with TradeMutt, the shirts have been created to feature all four of our commodities, and every purchase will help raise money for mental health support through the service This is A Conversation Starter.
According to the latest figures from The National Farmer Wellbeing Report, in recent years, nearly half of Australian farmers have felt depressed, with almost two thirds experiencing anxiety.
Even more devastating, 45 per cent of Aussie farmers have had thoughts of self-harm or suicide, while 30 per cent have attempted self-harm or suicide.
With statistics like this it has never been more important for us all to shine a light on such a prevalent issue.
The shirts will soon be available to purchase from AgForce, so watch this space!
Anyone needing help or support with mental health should get in contact with the TIACS team on 0488 846 988 or visit their website.
