An honest conversation about mental health in agriculture – ProtectHER: The Weight We Carry, RFD-TV special (JULy 2026)

Written By Adriel McMahan

Life in agriculture is built on resilience, but even the strongest people need support. In this RFD-TV special, produced as part of the ProtectHER initiative in partnership with Nationwide, FarmHER + RanchHER host Kirbe Schnoor sits down with Jessica Cabrera of Farm Bureau's Farm State of Mind, Jeff Winton of Rural Minds, and Rupa Mehta of Perfect Sundays and NaliniKIDS for an honest conversation about mental health in agriculture.

Together they share personal stories, practical resources, and encouragement for anyone who may be struggling, along with reminders that checking in with neighbors and loved ones can make a real difference and that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
