Muckville

In our country, someone dies by suicide every 11 minutes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Mental health and suicides are issues that are touching all of us, including in rural farming communities. HealthCetera producer and host Diana Mason, RN, discussed this issue with Chris Pawelski, a fourth generation farmer in Goshen, NY, who had his own struggles with managing the stress of farming in the documentary Muckville. He continues to farm and to work on agricultural policy that he discusses during the interview. The interview first aired on October 9, 2024, on WIOX Radio.
