Here are the CDC figures all these articles are based on[0], with a lot of help from lobbying organisations I'm sure. Agriculture lags far behind industries like mining, construction and auto repair, but you won't find wikipedia articles on those. And I am positive most of the people covered by 'agricultural workers' are not those who own the farms, but those who work on them seasonally and are often exploited. I know I'm coming in hot on a topic that always deserves sympathy, but, at least from a UK perspective, farm owners as a cohort are often playing the victim while being among the most well off in society. Suicide rates are helped by investing in healthcare, not corn subsidies. [0] https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7250a2.htm https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7250a2.htm
