“…Farmers feel occupational stress for many reasons, including management of own company, self-reliance, personal illness, diseases in crop or livestock, long work days, few vacation days, caring for family members, relationships with family members and neighbors, work in a changing world, national and world politics, and weather (Elkhind and Cody-Salter, 2005;Walker and Walker, 1987;McLaren, and Challis, 2009;Merchant, et al 1989;Donham and Thelin, 2006;Rosenblatt and Anderson, 1981;Tevis, 1982). Picket et al (1998) state that loneliness and isolation was a risk factor in suicide in the farm setting.…”

American farmers are iconic representations of American values, including hard work, strong morality, family-centered, low materialism, purposeful living, and fair business dealings. Farming families are frequently intergenerational and connected to the same piece of land they have owned for generations. Neighbors work together during planting and harvest. While facing challenges, farming communities pull together to help out their friends. It is, therefore, surprising when farmers are victims or perpetrators of homicide or suicide. Perhaps not so surprising, the idealized version of the farmer is somewhat different than reality. Farming and agricultural work is considered a dangerous occupation due to the multiple risks for injury and illness (Chapman and Schuler, 1990; Krueger, 2011). In agriculture, homicide is lower than in other occupations, while suicide is higher than in other occupations. Rural male deaths are higher from both causes in comparison to rural female homicide and suicide deaths (Alston, 2012; Gunderson et al, 1993; Nisbett, 1993; and Stallones, 1990). Little research has been undertaken to better understand farmer homicide, especially as an occupational risk. Research has been undertaken to better understand risks for farmer, rancher, or migrant farm worker suicide, especially in relation to an increased number of farmer suicides in the United States after the economic farm crisis in the 1980's (

“…Studies hypothesize that non-economic considerations, such as the desire to maintain peaceful family relationships, may come into play in economic considerations (Rosenblatt and Anderson, 1981). Boehlje and Eidman (1984) cite nine possible goals of farmers which are not necessarily listed in order of importance: 1) to maximize profit, 2) to increase net worth, 3) to control a larger business, 4) to avoid low returns or losses, 5) to reduce borrowing needs, 6) to increase family consumption, 7) to increase leisure time.…”

“…Nonetheless, researchers have indicated that households located in a rural area are a diverse group (Elder, Rudkin, & Conger, 1995;Rosenblatt & Anderson, 1981;Swisher et al, 1998). Therefore, control variables should be included in any analysis assessing rural-urban differences, such as total family income (Hennon & Brubaker, 1988;Marans, Dillman, & Keller, 1980;Swisher et al, 1998), employment status (Marans, Dillman, & Keller, 1980), age (Hennon & Brubaker, 1988;Marans, Dillman, & Keller, 1980;Swisher et al, 1998), education (Marans, Dillman, & Keller, 1980;Swisher et al, 1998;), marital status (Hennon & Brubaker, 1988;Schumm & Bollman, 1981), and number of children (Swisher et al, 1998;Schumm & Bollman, 1981).…”

“…Farms in the United States have become fewer in number and larger in size since the 1930s, but the majority of farming operations in the 1980s were in the hands of family farmers rather than large commercial enterprises (Wilkening, 1981). Family farming possesses a unique characteristic that may be either a help or a hindrance: the people who perform the farm work and make all of the decisions usually are part of the immediate family, or at least are closely related (Rosenblatt & Anderson, 1981). On the positive side, this close relationship may "potentially enable cooperation, sacrifice, and the exchange of advice, ideas, and skills" (Davis-Brown & Salamon, 1987, p. 369).…”

“…On the negative side, this closeness can lead to intergenerational or marital tensions or a situation in which the personal needs of the family compete with the business needs of the farming operation. In other words, the familial aspect of the family farm predisposes a potential to either induce stress or alleviate stress (Davis-Brown & Salamon, 1987;Rosenblatt, 1990;Rosenblatt & Anderson, 1981). Salamon (1985) created a typology that delineates two ideal types of fann families, '"yeoman" farm families and "entreprenevir" farm families, each occup^rtng opposite ends of a continuum.…”
