How Can we Stop Farmer Suicides? Mona Lee Brock walked into the crisis center one morning where the telephones were all lighting up. She received a panicked phone call from a farmer's wife. The farmer had talked to Brock the day before agreeing not to hurt himself, and now he was nowhere to be found. Brock went to their house later that morning. The farmer's wife stayed inside the house while Brock went to investigate where the farmer might be. After searching for a little bit she found him, at the left rear wheel of his pick-up. He had already shot himself.
The headline caught my attention so I chose this one. Mona Lee Brock was a lady who got a phone call from a farmer who threatened to commit suicide and she got another phone call the next day and then went to the house and found out that he DID commit suicide. Sad. Basically people are concerned that farmers are still depressed because of the dust bowl and great depression. They're unsure how to help relieve this issue to make sure that more farmers don't commit suicide.
Campus Dining goes Local Nonetheless, the awareness of where food comes from is experiencing an upswing among the college population, as countless campuses including Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.; Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio; and Warren Wilson College in Asheville, N.C., have developed ambitious initiatives to source more food locally. For some colleges that have implemented such projects, the food comes straight from farms operated on the campuses themselves, and college food waste is recirculated back into the system. Berea is one such college, with a 480-acre farm that employs about 45 students each year. “Groups of interested faculty and staff thought it was odd to have a college farm that produced food … but none of that food ended up coming into dining halls where students ate,” says Clark. “In the late ’90s, people started asking questions as to why that is.”
In the crisis of the ‘80s, farmers had droughts and defaulted loans left thousands of farmers broke. A lot of farmers lost their houses, and even worse, committed suicide. A farmer was found dead by, his wife, at the end of his truck, after he had shot himself. We are trying everything we can to keep farmers from committing suicide, but there just isn’t a whole lot we can do about it. This is a horrible problem and needs to stop as soon as we can get it to.
Recently, with 24 other states represented, Rainey and her 18 teammates from the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture at Curtis, captured national ratings in agribusiness management, crop science, and overall agriculture know-how at the 2015 Judging Conference of the North American Colleges and Teachers of Agriculture (NACTA).In addition to the five students in agribusiness and 10 students in crops contests which were hosted at Black Hawk College, NCTA also sent four students to compete in meat science and 20 classes of live animal evaluation.
