Farmer suicide has been in the news down here (New Zealand) lately. Just to pick one article - https://www.odt.co.nz/news/national/farm-suicides-spur-desperate-call https://www.odt.co.nz/news/national/farm-suicides-spur-despe...
I'm not involved in agriculture, but the impression I get is that the main stressors have been weather and disease. Both of those have led to major animal culling operations, which must be terrible to have to follow through.
